      This place is special

      Pros

      The best people you could ever hope to work alongside Very generous benefits and perks that are constantly evolving and improving Really challenging and fun problems to solve Dynamic, fast-paced and creative environment Embracing remote work and pivoting quickly with the changing environment Employee-centric culture - genuinely a company that understands that people matter most

      Cons

      We've grown fast, so that can make for some more friction than your typical steady/non-growth environment. Nothing that's insurmountable though and if you have an inclination for working through problems and assuming the best in others (which is quite easy to do here given the kind and thoughtful folks around you), then it's just part of the reality of working at a high growth SaaS company.

      Pros

      CEO to VP to Sales to Customer Experience - everyone is super accessible, focused on working together to make the best product. Also, D&I isn't a checkbox here, people actually care about diversity, inclusion and belonging.

      Cons

      It's a small company. There will be resource constraints that will require zero ego and nice humans to solve.

      A real sense of belonging and purpose

      Senior technical program manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The purpose behind each initiative is very clear, focused and directional. The energy is positive and inclusive. New hires are welcomed and working remotely is a breeze because of the thoughtfulness that goes into setting up team members for success.

      Cons

      Naturally there are a number of organizational growing pains with this kind of trajectory. If you are not keen to be part of organizing yourself and teams into a way that scales up, and instead you want things to be already well established (read: orderly, one tidy package) even before you arrive, then it might not be the place for you. Frankly, I find it really motivating and energizing so I wouldn't list this as a "con" for myself.

      Thank you so much for leaving a review! We are thrilled to hear you find Slack a positive and inclusive place to work (we agree!). We are especially happy to hear the transition to working remotely has gone so smoothly - we have to give it up for our AMAZING Learning & Development team for all of their efforts there. We certainly have a lot more building to do and we are thankful to have you onboard for it. Thanks again for leaving this feedback!
