Pros

Good product roadmap, positive future as a product. Slack is for sure the way of the future. Goodbye email.

Cons

Very homogeneous and minorities do not thrive in this environment. The HR team has no support nothing really set up to help underrepresented minorities be successful in this environment. No education around cultural or communication styles and no resources on biases or true bias trainings except for the usual "unconscious bias" jargon. POCs will very quickly become isolated and it's up to them to make others around them feel comfortable or else they will be sacrificed. I have watched this happen to POCs. Especially Black Women.

Pros

Slack cares about their employees as much as their customers. Extremely pleasant work environment, amazing colleagues and benefits, as well as an overall feeling that you're really valued. So much effort is put into making sure you have the tools to do the best work of your life, which, in turn, leads to a genuine feeling of fulfillment.

Cons

Career advancement has appeared to be drawn out at times.

Pros

I've been at Slack for 9 months and I'm really enjoying my job. They hire top quality people and they try to live the values - smart, humble, hardworking and collaborative. People are appreciated for the work they do and it's possible to have a large impact on the company.

Cons

Lots of change - I've had 3 bosses in 9 months. Hasn't had much of an impact on my day to day life, but it's a bit thrash-y. The way we use Slack can be overwhelming - I must be in 100 channels. I look forward to the day when are priorities are to make the product easier to use for Slack-centric companies. Sometimes the best way to get more work done is to turn off Slack.
