      Pros

      Belief and alignment in the company mission comes all the way from the leadership. It really feels like everyone's working towards the same goals and are willing to make the investments necessary.

      Cons

      Job requires significant work and strategic thinking - not for everyone

      I Pinch Myself Everyday!

      Pros

      The culture at Slack is unreal. I've never been with a company that treats their employees with this much respect & admiration. They truly care. Truly. I pinch myself every day with how lucky & blessed I am to work for a company like Slack. Stewart is such an amazing servant leader. I respect him & his dedication to the wellbeing of his employees & the health of this company. I really enjoy being apart of the Sales & CS team. They are very supportive & encourage opportunities to lead within the team & through different company initiatives & programs. There are vast opportunities to explore different & parallel career paths within the company. The D&I program is also one of the best I've been apart of. I am inspired every day by my fellow colleagues.

      Cons

      Slack operates within a "start-up" atmosphere at times and there are growing pains that are very understandable. There are opportunities now that management is taking to improve their D&I hiring & promoting initiatives from folks entering Slack as an intern all the way to C-level executives. I am happy to report that due to Slack's open & collaborative culture, I admire their honesty with any of the growing pains that come along & Slack's invested interest to constantly improve, grow & evolve.

      Incredible team and company

      Pros

      The way that Slack has handled 2020 is incredible, and gives a great idea of what to expect when on this team. We moved to WFH optional back in early March, before many companies had done so. We were given a stipend for at home office needs. The timing of this meant that we were ahead of other companies, and when ordering a desk and monitor, etc..they were all still in stock. Slack took on a day a month to all take the day off. They introduced a new type of Time Away that didn't use up sick time, but allowed us to miss work if needed for impact caused by all the uncertain circumstances. I'm able to work remotely with an incredible team that I still stay really connected with. I've felt treated very human during these difficult times, and empowered to treat those around me and that I manage with that same care.

      Cons

      It's a lot, things don't ever shut down or quiet fully. It likely depends a lot on the dept you work for what cons come up. I would say that there is not a lot of interaction with others outside of my department. Now that we aren't in an office, my circle is pretty small.

      2020 has indeed been a challenging year and we’re happy to hear that you’ve felt supported with our work from home stipend, additional days of PTO, and emergency paid time off. The health of our employees comes first! -Slack
