      Strong product, downtrending culture

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great product vision, inspiring CEO and founders, strong market, good work-life balance (varies a bit by department), cool and interesting problems to solve.

      Cons

      Several very poor management/organizational choices have been made in the past year, which has greatly diminished the company culture. This is especially prevalent at the senior/mid-manager level (along with a few notable executive hires as well). As a result, several departments have developed toxic cultures, leading to a host of employee departures. Attrition in the past few months has been particularly abysmal, with many key employees leaving or on their way out the door. While some of the turnover and change is normal for a fast-growing company, Slack's cultural issues go past anything most of us have seen in our careers.

      Fake, Political and Orwellian

      Dev manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great benefits - Good name recognition - Fair compensation

      Cons

      - Sudden, unexpected early success led to inflated egos and poor governance among company leaders - As a result, the company's culture is a strange mix of entitlement, self-aggrandizement, with some deep-seeded insecurity - From the C level on down, the company says the right things -- from strategy to cultural engineering -- it is about "vision", "diversity" and so on - When it comes down to practice, such as hiring, review or planning, the decisions are often arbitrary, and clownishly contradicting - Yet the enforcement of those decisions is nothing short of authoritarian. PeopleOps operates like a secret police force: some lunch time bantering about the company's direction would be reported, recorded, then came back to haunt you during reviews

      Very dissapointed

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The office is probably the only thing that is a pro

      Cons

      Everything else. They show that their employees matter through empathy, compassion and so on. Further they preach about these amazing values during the on boarding. But that's where it stops.
