Pros
It's hard to imagine a company with a bigger opportunity in enterprise software than Slack. We’ve paved the way within the workstream collaboration space and the market opportunity has been validated as Microsoft, Google and Cisco build competing products. I feel lucky to sell a product that is genuinely loved by our users. It’s inspiring to see how our customers embrace Slack to transform how they work. We’re fortunate to partner with some of the largest companies in the world. One of the reasons I joined Slack is to help build a unique team and culture, which has been remarkable to be a part of over the past two years as we continue to scale our NYC office. I’m surrounded by driven coworkers who are smart, passionate, and make it fun to come to work. As a member of the sales team, it’s reassuring that Slack is aligned across the board to optimize the product-market fit within large organizations – our company strategy and our investment in support roles prove that we’re doing everything we can to accelerate growth.
Cons
It can be challenging to go head to head with other tech titans and sell the value of our product when our competition is often free. However, Slack will trust you to pursue the approach that you feel will be most effective and empower you to take risks. The skills that are required to succeed at Slack will position you well for whatever you do next in your career.
