      Easily the best company I've ever worked for

      Pros

      I've worked for a lot of tech companies, and Slack is at the top of that list. All teams across all departments work well together, and are oriented towards the same goals. The credit for this goes to clear and thoughtful communication from leadership, and a complete lack of dysfunction or toxicity (as far as I can tell, anyway). Pre-shutdown, we had fantastic office culture and perks, but after going fully remote, the company figured out how to adjust and retain that culture, which is remarkable. The work we're doing feels valuable and meaningful.

      Cons

      I don't have any cons. I love working here.

      Lucky to work at Slack

      Pros

      - First and foremost, I love the product and it's a true blessing to be selling a product that I live in, believe and feel good about selling - Like a lot of tech companies, Slack has amazing health coverage, policies and extras - The Slack platform is used to allow anyone to communicate with and express opinions to our most senior leaders - transparency - Flexibility, and a willingness to change and be better

      Cons

      - Slack is still pretty young, growth is not always easy - Parental leave is not at the industry standard, comparisons to the rest of the US aren't holding the company to a high standard (Primary carers require more time than secondary carers)

      Honestly the best company I've ever worked for

      Pros

      The culture here is wild, in the most positive sense of the word. The company is legitimately interested in keeping their employees healthy and mentally stable, particularly during the pandemic. - Flexible ETO (emergency time off) during pandemic - Monthly days off for mental health during pandemic - People really seem to be interested in and care for one another - Comp is great (for me and my peers anyway) - Very limited drama and "team politics". People just want to see the problems solved as a team.

      Cons

      - There's an adage that "the easiest way to get Staff/Senior Staff is to get hired into it" - Promotions are very difficult to come by, and getting harder with time - I end up rolling my eyes a lot at how often people go on political tirades assuming everyone else agrees with them.
