      Nothing else I'd rather be selling!

      Senior account executive

      Pros

      I've been at Slack for almost 4 years and the thing that has kept me here is the product. My colleagues are a delight, but the best part of my job is talking to customers every day about a product I believe in wholeheartedly.

      Cons

      All the normal scaling pains and trade-offs. Nothing unique to Slack and better managed here than anywhere else I've been.

      Slack is great, parts of the codebase are not

      Senior software engineer

      Pros

      My favorite thing about Slack is the folks I get to work with. My team is amazing and I love being surrounded by such a smart and diverse group of people. Leadership gets a lot of things right, the benefits are amazing, and work life balance is much better than a lot of other places I've been.

      Cons

      The biggest quality of life issue is the relatively fragile and monolithic codebase. I'm lucky enough to spend my time working out of the monolith, but it's there and it's big and it leads to incidents. We do have a healthy culture around incidents (postmortems, etc) but life would be better if we reduced the amount of time we spent on them.

      Wonderful place to work

      Content designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The value the company overall places on content and writers. Never before have I worked at a company that said they valued this type of work, and meant it. This comes through in the compensation offered, but also in the type of feedback one gets from senior design management, and the rigor (but still constructive and collaborative!) of the content team in reviews. - A career ladder that allows one to advance even if one has no desire to ever manage a team. - Amazing culture. It sounds like kool-aid until you get here and realize it's actually all true. Remarkably little politicking and brown-nosing - Transparency from leadership - Possibly not a pro to many others, but I think it's nice that the company doesn't offer free meals all week to its employees. It feels like a very conscious decision to encourage employees to spend in the local community (or bring food from home).

      Cons

      - Ramp up isn't easy. There's a lot going on, and very little source of truth documentation. The recommendation is that you search the history of Slack's Slack for any information you need, and it usually works, but does require extra time/effort than someone pointing you to an updated style guide. - While Slack is great for MANY things, sometimes there's a tendency to do it ALL in Slack, when it'd be easier to have the conversation in person.
