Sell for Slack :heart-eyes:

Pros

Slack is an amazing company to work for and specifically sell for. I always tell people it’s a dream product to sell as a sales person. I’ve never sold a product that people love so much or that really changes how a company operates. Sales leadership is incredibly supportive and the entire organization is willing to help close more deals. I’ve had our CEO, CFO, CTO all send emails or speak directly with my customers. I’ve never worked at a company where senior leadership is so willing to help. Work life balance is very important to the company and I feel very fulfilled selling for slack.

Cons

Competition is heating up which isn’t necessarily a con - it’s justifying our market. The ramp can be tricky for new people since it’s a complex enterprise sale.

Pros

It's been amazing joining a company where the health, wellbeing and ambitions of employees is so visible. There are so many resources to help you get your work done - e.g. multiple #help channels to get your questions answered by the right team, an extremely generous WFH budget to aid in the switch to remote working, regular check-ins with managers and team mates, great self-learning budget etc. The health and wellbeing of each employee is also really important to Slack, which is why resources such as 8 days of Emergency Time Off (in addition to Paid Time Off and Volunteer Time Off) and the health and wellbeing budget are so welcomed.

Cons

Literally none - this is the best place I have ever worked!

Pros

Great product Great benefits Opportunities for advancement

Cons

Slack has been advertising their remote friendly environment and have been doing a ton of press on their remote-friendly culture and how moving forward employees will be able to be remote. However, reading the fine print this option is only for a small subset of roles, with many roles (who could do their work remotely) not even having the option to apply to be remote.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! We are so happy to hear you are satisfied with our product, benefits and career opportunities here at Slack. We recognise having the flexibility to work from home is important. Each department, team and role is assessed for our distributed working model to ensure it makes sense for us as a business to be successful! I would suggest reaching out to your manager and department people partner to discuss this matter with them further. We are always reviewing our policies and processes to further create a good environment for our employees so appreciate this feedback. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. -Slack People Team
