Pros

Culture is second to none. Strong team atmosphere, rather than a dog eat dog environment that you’ll find at other companies. Sales Dev work is a grind, but that’s to be expected. While there are metrics, your feet aren’t held over the fire. Have the autonomy to be creative, rather than being a robot.

Cons

Sales Dev org has only been around for a year - lots of change occurring. Too much grey area at the moment, but leadership is addressing and remedying. Greater alignment with AE’s and their managers will go a long way.

Pros

- Everyone here is very friendly and easy to work with - Avocados, Fresh Fruits, Fully stock frig and snacks available - Work life balance is something they care about here. You come to work and get your work done and then you can focus on your life.

Cons

- Getting bigger and with that you have some growing pains. Some needed change and process needs to change to adapt to how big Slack is getting. There's a bit of tension between a few folks and things can be more aligned across the company in terms of certain process and decisions. The good thing is I know there are people are working on it so hopefully it's keeps getting better.
