      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Autonomy in how to work gets done - Smart, collaborative, fun people - Leadership cares about the people, has been incredibly supportive of time off and life balance during COVID.

      Cons

      - Huge pay bands and very difficult to move up within one regardless of impact - make sure you negotiate aggressively at sign on, it might be your only real opportunity to for years. - Cross team collaboration can be hard to get organized/prioritized.

      A great place to learn how maturing Saas startups operate.

      Pros

      Great coworkers. Leadership open to experimentation and feedback. Relatively transparent with exec decision making. Fantastic benefits. Reimbursement for professional development is helpful. Flexible PTO scheduling with enough advanced notice. Generous COVID-19 support for employees, especially folks with children. In the past two years, company has shed a LOT of the startup culture shticks. An culture that encourages and rewards employees who excel at interdepartmental and external collaboration.

      Cons

      If you are uncomfortable with change to organization policies (mostly to accommodate rapidly changing global health, social,economic or political climate), this might be a challenging work environment, at least for the first little while.

      In 36 years of recruiting in the Bay Area, Slack is the overall best company I've ever worked for/with/at...

      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)
