Pros

The NICEST, most thoughtful company culture I've ever experienced. I have not met a jerk yet and bullying / fear-inducing is NOT tolerated here. It's amazing to feel safe, considered, and heard here. The benefits are amazing - all monthly medical premiums are covered for the employee and family. The annual personal development ($500)and professional development ($2,000) funds are compelling. Slack's mission in making work simpler, more productive, and more pleasant truly resonates internally and externally - and I see so many positive reactions from within and from our customers. It's truly what we are built for and it keeps the morale, quality of product, and culture thriving.

Cons

The NICEST, most thoughtful company culture I've ever experienced. Yes, our biggest strength can be our biggest weakness. Sometimes, crucial conversations can be difficult when we are too focused on being nice than simply telling what the problem and solution is. But honestly, this is the biggest problem I've encountered so far and I'll take that over any other company.

Pros

• Most work/life balanced company I've ever seen • Great pay and benefits • Genuinely listens to input from entire staff base • Great colleagues • Strong sense of teams getting to own their decisions (this was more difficult in the past) • Decisions are made transparently, and execs can be publicly asked questions with and will publically answer thoughtfully and thoroughly. • Building a product customers actually like and pay for directly feels genuinely good.

Cons

• Currently not a lot of room for growth in the Design org (though this is actively changing) • Working outside of HQ (SF) can be challenging for the remote employees
