Slack reviews

Overall this has been a good place to work. The company is growing, the product and teams are growing, so there's opportunity to take on challenging work of increasing scope and complexity. The senior leadership of the company is experienced and better than other places I've worked, and the new senior leadership hires all seem to be people with good backgrounds who I respect and think will level up the company. Work-life balance is extremely reasonable.

There are so many pros. The Work -- There's a lot of amazing activity that's happening at Slack. I've been inspired by the creative projects that are being undertaken. I feel like the organization values my contribution. It is as close to a true meritocracy as I've had in my career. The Product -- it's a fabulous product with depth of capability that many people don't see yet. The product value is the reason I joined. The People and Culture -- The value that is shared over and over again is empathy. There's a rigorous hiring process and I can see why. Everyone I've met across Slack has a huge amount of compassion for each other and understanding. Team meetings are honest but kind. I'm continually amazed by the level of connection between people. Work Life Balance - You may think that being inside Slack, you're available 24-7. It's quit the opposite. They truly live the mantra "Work Hard and Go Home". Everyone contributes and then respects that people's evenings and weekends are their own time. Snoozing notifications on Slack is the norm and I've never felt pressure to work unreasonable hours. The Perks -- Where else can you get a weekly massage, all-day snacks, and kombucha on tap? :)
