Incredible company, exciting mission

Pros

The talent is incredible. Slack employs the best and the brightest and you have an awesome opportunity to learn from people who have seen it all. There is an organic sense of trust developed between employer and employee (especially during shift to remote work) which means no micromanaging and no nonsense. If you do right by the company they will do right by you! Last but not least, the software is honestly the most useful and impressive piece of enterprise technology you will ever use.

Cons

Sometimes, we shoehorn use cases for our own internal processes into the platform that slow us down.

Pros

Great perks and benefits; stable and even the crazy teams don’t feel all that crazy

Cons

Team doesn’t really go after inspirational problems. The work is tactical and very engineering and experiment focused.
