Pros

During the recruiting process, recruiters and interviewers were very well coordinated and responsive. The process took a little more than a month, but I was kept updated the entire time. Now that I've started, I'm super impressed! Thoughtful, caring, engaged and happy employees. The onboarding process is dialed in and everyone is here to help. For such a young company and one that is growing quickly I can't believe how organized and how well documented things are... it's impressive. - Recruiters and interviews

Cons

So far, there are zero cons to working at Slack.
