Slack reviews

Having been in human resources roles in various industries and companies, I have seen first-hand what each company and leadership truly values and prioritizes. Especially being at Slack in the midst of the pandemic, I truly feel that the company cares deeply about the well-being of employees, rather than just about business performance. Management sees that taking care of its people and those around them makes the organization perform at its best as a result. People I work with are also very creative and intelligent, and tend to embrace change and learning opportunities. Every day I feel grateful to be working with such a diverse group of colleagues, and I feel that people embody our core values and attributes such as being humble, collaborative, hardworking, and empathetic. There's also great excitement in watching us define and develop our own market. I feel that I can take part in leading the way to define a new way of working, as we help customers work through these challenging times.

I interviewed at Slack at the very beginning of press about Covid-19 here in the states -- my plans for in-person interviews quickly shifted to virtual and from an external candidate POV, it was shockingly smooth. The team was just as inviting as I imagine they would have been in person, and I feel I got to know my interviewers well throughout the thoughtful, in-depth interview process. I got the job (yay!) and then was, of course, onboarded virtually. The dedicated team of program coordinators and enablement specialists embodied everything I had heard about Slack: they were all inclusive, flexible, warm, welcoming, empathetic, etc.! It seemed that everyone truly cared about my development here (not just my core team, but also hiring teams I supported, folks I onboarded with, and stakeholders across the org). Slack is, as most know, amazing as a platform: being new and having this wealth of searchable information, with bots, reminders, everything you need to ramp up quickly. So, I won't ramble on about that. But I will say, I am genuinely so thrilled to be here at Slack. I believe in the power of our platform, believe we have amazing growth ahead, and feel really fortunate to get to work with this lean team of smart, humble, hardworking recruiters and business partners day in and day out. Even though I've never met my coworkers in real life, I've found my niche here and have appreciated how quickly the team welcomed me into the fold.
