Thank you for the feedback! Growing pains are to be expected as you mentioned. Leadership is working hard to keep employees up to speed with all hands meetings, regular town halls, and in-channel updates to ensure that employees feel supported and well informed. If you have additional feedback on how we can improve, we encourage you to share with your manager or people partner. Thanks again!

Pros

* What they say on the outside, they do on the inside * Actual empathy and caring for employees * Fast growing company * Care about their product and its effects on people, not just $$$ * Lots of good quality folks to work with * Always looking to improve employee experience - be place to do your best work

Cons

* Still a very San Francisco based company in operation (but improving) * Close to, but not yet profitable at time of writing * A bit senior+ level heavy. Need to encourage and develop & support more below senior roles.

Pros

I've been with Slack over a month and it's clear this company is led by an extraordinary CEO! A CEO who cares as much about people as he does the bottom line. His thought process trickles down throughout the leadership team and managers making Slack truly a wonderful place to work! Slack the product is an amazing product! While I used Slack at my previous employer, it wasn't near to the extent I'm now getting to use it. It's a product that truly makes work life simpler, while also adding in fun with all the emoji uses! Slack benefits are phenomenal! They have 3 health options in CA and that are 100% paid for by Slack for the employee AND the employee's dependents. This is a HUGE annual savings. They offer 20 paid vacation days, 10 paid sick days, 2 paid volunteer days, paid Company Shut Down days between Christmas and New Years and paid Holidays. They offer a cell phone and wellness stipend which are automatically added into your paychecks. Plus up to $1000 reimbursement to set up a home office and up to $2000 reimbursement for professional growth! Slack's pay is generous! They offer generous base salaries, annual bonuses and stock! A portion of your stock starts vesting at 12 months! Career opportunities also seem to be abundant at Slack. While Slack has over 2300+ remote employees (currently due to COVID), they have really mastered the "remote" workforce culture by having employees feel engaged without micro-management. I've feel blessed to have landed at Slack!

Cons

I have not come across a single "con".
