Pros

The purpose behind each initiative is very clear, focused and directional. The energy is positive and inclusive. New hires are welcomed and working remotely is a breeze because of the thoughtfulness that goes into setting up team members for success.

Cons

Naturally there are a number of organizational growing pains with this kind of trajectory. If you are not keen to be part of organizing yourself and teams into a way that scales up, and instead you want things to be already well established (read: orderly, one tidy package) even before you arrive, then it might not be the place for you. Frankly, I find it really motivating and energizing so I wouldn't list this as a "con" for myself.

Thank you so much for leaving a review! We are thrilled to hear you find Slack a positive and inclusive place to work (we agree!). We are especially happy to hear the transition to working remotely has gone so smoothly - we have to give it up for our AMAZING Learning & Development team for all of their efforts there. We certainly have a lot more building to do and we are thankful to have you onboard for it. Thanks again for leaving this feedback!

Pros

Slack is an amazing company to work for and specifically sell for. I always tell people it’s a dream product to sell as a sales person. I’ve never sold a product that people love so much or that really changes how a company operates. Sales leadership is incredibly supportive and the entire organization is willing to help close more deals. I’ve had our CEO, CFO, CTO all send emails or speak directly with my customers. I’ve never worked at a company where senior leadership is so willing to help. Work life balance is very important to the company and I feel very fulfilled selling for slack.

Cons

Competition is heating up which isn’t necessarily a con - it’s justifying our market. The ramp can be tricky for new people since it’s a complex enterprise sale.

Pros

It's been amazing joining a company where the health, wellbeing and ambitions of employees is so visible. There are so many resources to help you get your work done - e.g. multiple #help channels to get your questions answered by the right team, an extremely generous WFH budget to aid in the switch to remote working, regular check-ins with managers and team mates, great self-learning budget etc. The health and wellbeing of each employee is also really important to Slack, which is why resources such as 8 days of Emergency Time Off (in addition to Paid Time Off and Volunteer Time Off) and the health and wellbeing budget are so welcomed.

Cons

Literally none - this is the best place I have ever worked!
