Pros

- Surrounded by so many smart, kind, and genuine people - Strong career growth and tons of opportunity for projects (and stretch projects) - Feedback is inviting and welcome! I know feedback is always a tough subject and conversation to have, but Slack (and my team) has a culture of accepting feedback and I never feel bad for giving constructive feedback (though we take a very thoughtful approach). We are all looking for ways to improve and better work together. - Pay and benefits are very competitive (Slack will take care of you!) - Slack culture, philosophy, values are everything people look for in a company, I am very proud to work for Slack.

Cons

- Tough work/life balance (lots of challenging work, hard to balance the volume of work with the execution of quality - this is something I personally need to better control) - Need better structure and organization - as a growing company there is still foundation that needs to be built, but I imagine overtime this will improve.

Pros

Probably the best company I have and will ever work for. The product is amazing and speaks for itself. Every person I have worked cross functionally is smart, the top of their game, humble and all around amazing to work with. You do not come across any subpar people at Slack. Our executive team treats the employees like humans first - especially during a pandemic and are constantly making sure that everyone is taking care of themselves and their loved ones first and foremost. I have never worked at a company with so much transparency - they are always doing company all hands, town halls and fireside chats. My experience has been great so far.

Cons

None that I can think of !
