Pros

1. So refreshing to work in a welcoming, respectful, and empathetic culture that has created a team that is truly inclusive and diverse. 2. Business is just fine...Slack is fully responsive to current market, environmental and health conditions. 3. We are ONE TEAM; a well supported distributed, global workforce...most roles can be remote.

Cons

When we were working in our offices, there was never enough Key Lime Le Croix. (I'm joking...I miss working closer to my teammates, not the nice perks of being in a common workspace...I have no real cons to note here)

Pros

- Slack is an amazing company that cares for people and customers. - CEO, CTO and all other executives are awesome. They always take care of the employees. Especially during COVID19 crisis, all executives showed a great character, allowed employees to settle down and adjust to the new situation and made sure work-life balance is maintained even when people are always staying at home. - Some perks offered during COVID19 crisis : Flexible working hours, $1000 stipend to buy WFH equipments, special time off for emergencies and permanent (optional) remote work.

Cons

Stiff competition from Microsoft Teams.

Pros

People oriented culture ! Engineers love it here - great challenging problems to work on and full autonomy to make and drive decisions.

Cons

Growing pains with hiring and ideal org structure. This is more of a first world good problem to have. I have full confidence in exec leadership to make the right adjustments in the coming years.
