      High Empathy Culture + High Motivation to Delivery Amazing products

      Pros

      Slack is full of highly motivated, smart, empathetic employees who look to build on each others strengths and make amazing products together. We live and work in the Slack product so we are dogfooding all day, every day. We want to make work easier for our users and live the mission. The company is grounded and centered in the best outcome for its users and support its employees (especially during the challenging times of covid-19), at an impressive level. Slack might be based in the Bay Area but it lacks some of the bad reputations of other tech companies in the area. A breath of fresh, exciting air!

      Cons

      We work hard and some people work long hours but it comes from the drive and motivation of the product and is never forced/required by upper management. I really can't think of any other cons!

      Best place to work, even from home!

      Pros

      - You work with awesome, like-minded and accepting people who are driven to succeed and help you succeed - Great company culture and perks - Even starting my job with Slack from home due to Covid-19, they have been very accommodating and have made me feel like a part of the team - Transparency across management - Challenging and productive work environment - Room for growth in your role, and into others roles - Managers who want you to thrive and exceed

      Cons

      - You'll have to work the odd weekend shift in this role (not often tho, and you get a day in lieu). This isn't a huge con - Not much else - Slack is the best!

      Don't mess with the flow, just stick to the status quo!

      Pros

      - Good work/life balance - A reasonably interesting product with its own set of challenges - Beautiful offices in many different countries - Quality of design matters

      Cons

      - Easy to hide in the organizational shadows and do very little work - Over-sensitive culture infused with strong 'woke left' narratives and not afraid to push it in your face! - Status quo management and development culture.. repeat that week's popular phrase as stated by executives and you'll do well - Heavy in the management layers - Inappropriate leveling criteria for engineers, leading to low technical competence
