Pros

Amazing support to ALL employees. You feel part of the team on day one. You're looked after, set up for success, and encouraged to create goals and exceed them. No unrealistic expectations as well; they understand everyone's human. Time off to take care of yourself is just as important as working hard. Because of that, everyone is in the right headspace to do their best work - and WANT to do it!

Cons

Onboarded remotely (due to COVID) which has made it a bit tough to get to know the team. Because HQ is in the US, the focus is there, even though there are offices globally and protocols that suit the US may not be necessary for other countries (COVID restrictions). In addition to that, our CE team has to work on Canadian holidays because we're a US company. Although they give a day in lieu or holiday pay to follow employment requirements, it's one downfall of the team!

Pros

1. So refreshing to work in a welcoming, respectful, and empathetic culture that has created a team that is truly inclusive and diverse. 2. Business is just fine...Slack is fully responsive to current market, environmental and health conditions. 3. We are ONE TEAM; a well supported distributed, global workforce...most roles can be remote.

Cons

When we were working in our offices, there was never enough Key Lime Le Croix. (I'm joking...I miss working closer to my teammates, not the nice perks of being in a common workspace...I have no real cons to note here)

Pros

- Slack is an amazing company that cares for people and customers. - CEO, CTO and all other executives are awesome. They always take care of the employees. Especially during COVID19 crisis, all executives showed a great character, allowed employees to settle down and adjust to the new situation and made sure work-life balance is maintained even when people are always staying at home. - Some perks offered during COVID19 crisis : Flexible working hours, $1000 stipend to buy WFH equipments, special time off for emergencies and permanent (optional) remote work.

Cons

Stiff competition from Microsoft Teams.
