Pros

- The best people, and a really healthy culture - even working remotely, you will feel included and engaged - Work with an amazing product that really impacts people's working lives - Really walk the talk when it comes to social justice and diversity - Tons of opportunity to take initiative, and learn/grow outside of your role - Best perks/benefits around

Cons

- This isn't really a negative, but Slack is a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment. To be successful here, you must be able to weather uncertainty. Despite this, you will be well supported.

Pros

Innovative product Incredible team across organization - smart, dedicated, energized, fun Empathetic organization Overall Slack is a wonderful place to work, and I have absolutely loved my time here.

Cons

Growing organization that is still finding its way from smaller start-up to now a 2K+ public organization. Sometimes processes can be overly tedious, and can feel like there can be too much of a big company mentality, when we still have the ability to be nimble if we could focus on that.
