Pros

The way that Slack has handled 2020 is incredible, and gives a great idea of what to expect when on this team. We moved to WFH optional back in early March, before many companies had done so. We were given a stipend for at home office needs. The timing of this meant that we were ahead of other companies, and when ordering a desk and monitor, etc..they were all still in stock. Slack took on a day a month to all take the day off. They introduced a new type of Time Away that didn't use up sick time, but allowed us to miss work if needed for impact caused by all the uncertain circumstances. I'm able to work remotely with an incredible team that I still stay really connected with. I've felt treated very human during these difficult times, and empowered to treat those around me and that I manage with that same care.

Cons

It's a lot, things don't ever shut down or quiet fully. It likely depends a lot on the dept you work for what cons come up. I would say that there is not a lot of interaction with others outside of my department. Now that we aren't in an office, my circle is pretty small.

2020 has indeed been a challenging year and we’re happy to hear that you’ve felt supported with our work from home stipend, additional days of PTO, and emergency paid time off. The health of our employees comes first! -Slack

Pros

- Opportunity to move around the company if you put in the work. - Great Leadership program. They truly invest in the best people leaders who can help support you. - There's endless opportunity to do impactful, meaningful work. - The people here are *incredible* and talented.

Cons

- Very few! I think the job is what you make it, and high effort reaps high reward. - Work/life balance can be challenging in such a quick moving, change-positive company.

Pros

- Very transparent company. - Lot's of opportunities to learn and grow within different areas of the company. - Management is very supportive and want you to succeed. - Outstanding personal/ entertainment perks along with professional development funds and opportunities. - Lots of remote roles. You can leverage working from home and still be in/ work towards a role that is offered in a different country, region, etc.

Cons

Not many... Due to covid, working from the office is not a possibility at the moment. Miss the team lunches, and events :(

Thanks for leaving a review. It makes us really happy to hear that you feel you have plenty of opportunity to learn and grow here at Slack, and that you feel supported in a transparent environment. We miss having our employees in the office too - we appreciate your flexibility as we learn to adapt in these uncertain times. -Slack
