Pros

Slack cares deeply about their employees and truly being fair. They do not sweep important situations under the rug and allow employees to take the time they need away from work whenever needed.

Cons

Slack uses Slack in a way no other organization would use Slack and navigating the platform can be difficult. There is no training on how to use the product when you start and no resources to confidently ask questions about how to navigate it without being embarrassed that you're asking questions about how to use the product.

Slack Response

The health and wellbeing of our employees is our top priority and we’re glad to hear you feel cared for and able to take the time you need away from work. We understand that using Slack at Slack can feel like a lot to learn - thank you for your patience and we encourage you to bring your concerns around additional training material to leadership through one of our internal feedback forums. We’re constantly working to improve and your feedback is really important to us. Thanks again! -Slack
