Pros

Probably the best company I have and will ever work for. The product is amazing and speaks for itself. Every person I have worked cross functionally is smart, the top of their game, humble and all around amazing to work with. You do not come across any subpar people at Slack. Our executive team treats the employees like humans first - especially during a pandemic and are constantly making sure that everyone is taking care of themselves and their loved ones first and foremost. I have never worked at a company with so much transparency - they are always doing company all hands, town halls and fireside chats. My experience has been great so far.

Cons

None that I can think of !

Pros

I started at Slack remotely during Covid-19 which has been a very difficult time for everyone. With everything going on in the world I was very nervous about leaving the comforts of my old company where I had a long close relationships with my colleagues and trying to ramp and learn everything to be successful alone from my home virtually. Thank goodness I trusted my recruiter and new manager and took the leap. Since starting at Slack I have been in awe of the thoughtfulness, compassionate support, transparency, and authentic leadership at Slack. The culture makes me want to work harder and definitely makes me see a long future at Slack.

Cons

Being a rapidly growing company there are a lot of new projects and processes to learn all while I've been trying to learn the original processes while remotely onboarding. Thankfully due to Slack using Slack to its fullest ability as a "Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge" I always have the ability to find the answers to all of my questions as things evolve and change.

We understand that we are living in challenging times and the health and wellbeing of our employees is very important to us. We are so glad you see yourself at Slack for a long time--we’re thrilled to have you.
