Pros

- Amazing culture, many initiatives to stay connected even during the pandemic. - Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is not only promoted but it's also part of the ways of working and engaging with others. Many workshops to become a better Ally. - Smart and collaborative team members. - Option to work remotely.

Cons

- Offices closed because of the pandemic. We're missing the face to face interaction, but this is a safe measure during the pandemic.

Pros

- Supportive management - Transparency from top of leadership funnel down to individual contributors - Feel like I'm given every tool imaginable to succeed - Culture is welcoming, warm, and incredibly receptive to how COVID is impacting it's workers lives - ORGANIZED -- coming from a very disorganized company prior to joining Slack, the level of almost over-organization is a breath of fresh air

Cons

- Everything has a formulated process, which can be annoying at times when you're trying to close business quickly. But there is obviously a reason for that. - The culture is very much search first and ask questions second, which is by no means the con, however often times we are given so much information spread across so many different channels it's often hard to remember where you heard something.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! Slack is a wonderful tool to help with organization and we’re happy you’re seeing it utilized successfully. Thanks for your patience with some of our more process-oriented policies-- it’s important for us to cross our t’s and dot our i’s. Clear processes ensure that we don’t miss anything!

Pros

Slack has shifted to remote work well and has really supported its employees (financially and emotionally) during these trying times. The high caliber and character of everyone you work with is apparent in almost all interactions.

Cons

Org structures create duplicative work and make roles and responsibilities unclear and create more difficult handoffs across projects.
