Pros

-I've never sold a product (let alone an enterprise software) that had so much customer love. When I tell people I work at Slack or meet people at conferences, I'm met with so much enthusiasm about the product. We really have the power to transform people's working lives. -Company has had an amazing trajectory and still has so much untapped opportunity. -Lots of smart people work here. -Great work life balance. -Great benefits and perks.

Cons

-Tendency to hire people from other tech companies which leads to lack of diversity in experience/backgrounds -Company grew extremely quickly so now there's a fair share of growing pains (decisions made too quickly without sufficient data, managers get promoted internally and may not have relevant experience, etc)

Pros

Good product roadmap, positive future as a product. Slack is for sure the way of the future. Goodbye email.

Cons

Very homogeneous and minorities do not thrive in this environment. The HR team has no support nothing really set up to help underrepresented minorities be successful in this environment. No education around cultural or communication styles and no resources on biases or true bias trainings except for the usual "unconscious bias" jargon. POCs will very quickly become isolated and it's up to them to make others around them feel comfortable or else they will be sacrificed. I have watched this happen to POCs. Especially Black Women.

Pros

Slack cares about their employees as much as their customers. Extremely pleasant work environment, amazing colleagues and benefits, as well as an overall feeling that you're really valued. So much effort is put into making sure you have the tools to do the best work of your life, which, in turn, leads to a genuine feeling of fulfillment.

Cons

Career advancement has appeared to be drawn out at times.
