      Amazing place to work with great culture

      Senior account executive

      Pros

      Slack really cares about the people that work here. They do every effort to make sure that you are valued and comfortable in performing your job. The company has an amazing culture and collaborative way of working. The product itself helps with the process and the way things work inside the organization. I'm amazed by transparent communication at all levels and how management is involved and takes feedback very seriously.

      Cons

      Normal growing pains of a company that is so new and is disrupting the market.

      Strong company values and culture

      Engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company has a very strong sense of values and culture that is felt thought out every interaction. Especially felt during the times of the pandemic, these values and the company's flexibility have made the transition to working from home one of the best experiences. The company really cares about their employees health and wellbeing as well as career advancement

      Cons

      Decisions are sometimes slow to be made, as it we tend to look for buy-in from all stake holders. Some of the time they are made on gut feel, rather than hard data which can be frustrating.

      World Class Culture and Team

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Transparent leadership whose bottom line is _not_ to make a profit. I attribute a lot of the culture to Stewart. He is clearly very invested in social good initiatives (way before the pandemic started). For example, bringing in speakers to talk about racial justice initiatives, the last mile program, partnering with code2040, etc. The great part is that this culture attracts the best people! Folks that are incredibly kind and exemplify all of our values. Not only that, most if not all of the engineers are amazing technically. Technical leaders are very knowledgable and really level up their teams if not the entire org. There are also lots of opportunities to work on technical challenges.

      Cons

      The legacy codebase can be hard to work in sometimes, but it's getting better. The concentration of people of color and LGBTQ folks is not equal. Some teams are very diverse while others are not as much. The stock price is quite volatile, but trending upwards. We use Hack which no one really uses besides Facebook. Hard to find something as good for next job.
