Pros

Slack has been a great place for me to grow my career as I transitioned away from the Consulting life. I would highly recommend Slack for anyone passionate in the company and the product. The culture is amazing, the office is state of the art, and management really listens to each employee.

Cons

Hyper growth means there are a lot of changes frequently as evidenced by the amount of managers I have had in almost 3 years here. Fortunately, I have not felt like my career has veered off course with this change.

Pros

- Innovation is highly valued and rewarded - Great pay and benefits - Fantastic work perks (even while remote) - Very inclusive and diverse - Awesome product - Work/life balance -Great folks to work with who truly care about their work and the people they work with - Very transparent leadership, you can ask them anything (there is literally a channel for this)

Cons

Slack is not a start up now, but still a newer company than most public companies. So processes on some teams are still being built out. This may not be a "con" if you like to roll up your sleeves and build out functions/processes. But if you prefer highly structured environments, this could be frustrating.

Pros

- Mission driven company - Amazing perks for employees; leadership really cares about employees - Wonderfully gratifying sales conversations with customers; we're often a silver-bullet which can solve for their remote-work needs - Generous pay and equity offering

Cons

- Work is practically unlimited. You can overwork yourself very quickly if you allow it - Processes are still being built; employees coming from more mature SAAS orgs (Eg. SalesForce) will have to be more entrepreneurial
