Pros

I feel like a lot of people on the outside have this idea of what Slack is like internally and they’re generally pretty spot on. It’s a group full of creative, smart, inclusive people trying to make the world a better place. I feel genuinely supported by Stewart and our executive team down to manager level and my teammates. Slack has handled remote work incredibly and has bent over backwards to make sure their employees are okay. I feel lucky to work at a place like this and am so excited about the future of work with Slack.

Cons

Like any company, Slack has disconnected systems within sales and marketing which makes projects difficult to run end to end. But we now have dedicated resources that are helping bridge the gap.
