      Great people

      Pros

      The people at Slack are bright, driven and amazingly kind. I have only been with Slack a few months, but instantly felt part of the team and can clearly see where I can add value to the organization.

      Cons

      The down side of being so nice, is that sometime people have a hard time giving critical feedback, but the good news is they recognize this and are working to improve leadership and IC skills around this. The other thing we need to do better as a company is enable our customers better. I used Slack before joining Slack, but had no idea I was only using 5% of it's capabilities. Now that I am here I can't imagine working without Slack as a central part of how I do my job and we have to show this to our customers.

      Laying the Foundation for the Future of Work

      Pros

      An amazing opportunity to build the foundation of how work gets done in the future. Working at Slack is a complete paradigm shift that I couldn’t have imagined prior to starting here. I don’t know how I’d ever work at a company that uses email again. There is tremendous career opportunity.

      Cons

      Not for those who lack resilience, struggle with ambiguity, need roles/priorities spelled out to them or who are looking to ‘coast’.
