      Terrible

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are fine. Some teams I think have work life balance, but others (like mine) have none .

      Cons

      - Salesforce acquisition terrible biztech experience (overall tech issues, duplicated calendars & email accounts, compensation plan mistakes, etc). Everyone is leaving and there's a massive loss of institutional knowledge. - Working in Slack sucks, it's exhausting and feels very reactive. Constant fire-fighting and extremely difficult to 'switch off' after hours. SO much anxiety, Slack as a platform was much more pleasant when used NOT at Slack. - Diversity sucks. No career opportunities.

      Pros

      Good comp, wide name recognition, great benefits. Many competent people. Market leading product. Glassdoor pad

      Cons

      Too many parasites: people who are there to get paid Very political env: full of snow flaky people around you. You have to be very careful what you say to whom.

      Not perfect, but a pretty great place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very collaborative culture - Friendly coworkers - Lots of talented people - Good compensation and benefits - Big focus on work life balance; the office empties out pretty quickly after 5

      Cons

      - Compared to most tech CEOs, Stewart isn't bad, but I don't think he's figured out how to be really effective at guiding an organization of our size. He still wants to micromanage. - We still write a lot of PhP - Slack is kind of behind the curve as far as using data
