Pros

Slack is a company that cares about their employees - full stop. The amount of support and resources we've gotten from company leadership, management, especially since COVID started, has been incredible. We care about our employees, customers, and the overall world. I am consistently challenged and work with some of the nicest, smartest, funniest people I've ever met. Plus, it never gets old hearing people say "Oh, you work at Slack? THE Slack? I LOVE SLACK! We use it all the time". Couldn't be more proud to have spent the last 4+ years working for this organization.

Cons

It's tech. We move fast and we don't always have the answers. I personally like that aspect of the industry for the most part, but it can be a challenge.

Pros

• Incredible staff. Kind and supportive. In my experience, anything else is simply not tolerated. • Amazing leadership. Our senior leaders have earned the trust and respect of our employee base by practicing what they preach, both in assuming best intent, and espousing social values that align with our company vision. • Pre-covid, incredible facilities and ample opportunity for socialization. • Not an overtime culture. It is abnormal to stay late working at the office.

Cons

• Very heavy on the warm fuzzies. In the balancing act of "support your people" and "run a business," we can tend to err too far on the "support your people" side that it can put a wrench in operations.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review! We are so happy you find the people and product here to be top notch! We certainly miss being in the office and seeing our co-workers' friendly faces, but it has also been fun to utilize our own product to stay productive and connected :) Thank you for providing the feedback that our 'warm fuzzies' can occasionally slow things down. It is a goal of ours to put people first and achieve operational excellence at the same time, so this is helpful feedback to have!
