Pros

Slack is selling a game-changing product that changes the way that people communicate, get work done and feel belonging at work. The team that the company has assembled is bar none - people truly smart, collaborative, humble and hard-working. I learn from my peers and team every single day, and I am proud to be part of a winning team.

Cons

The cons pale in comparison to the myriad pros.

Pros

- I feel incredibly supported and empowered to do my best work here - Co-workers come from best in class sales organizations and are genuinely good, kind, compassionate people we can all learn from - Our tools, processes and workflows are modern and don't slow us down - Slack, the product, actually transforms the way companies work and it's enjoyable to sell - No internal email! - Targets are attainable and comp is top class - Never have I worked in a more diverse sales organization and culture really is our competitive advantage - Our offices are absolutely gorgeous with plenty of nooks to work from when it's focus time - TAM continues to grow, we have massive tailwinds and we're just getting started

Cons

- Our default to open and public can be a transition for some new hires - Slack on Slack can be overwhelming at first - Some days you feel the burden of being a comparatively young enterprise sales team with things yet to figure out - Typical post-IPO growth/scale pains around loosely defined career progression and enablement - Solving for the largest organizational challenges in collaboration with our customers means you actually have to solve hard problems. Coasting isn't an option here. - NYC office strategy still lags behind other hubs.

Pros

I've been at Slack for 2 years and I feel very fulfilled. I really don't see myself leaving anytime soon within the next 5 years which is amazing given I'm part of Gen Z. I think the culture is what makes Slack stand out and while sometimes the workload does get intense and the diversity can be improved for people of color, I know Slack is doing its best and I appreciate it. - great culture - always shipping exciting features - feel very comfortable flagging issues to team and leadership - very clear direction and communication to employees - an appropriate level of big projects from time to time which pushes me to grow

Cons

- no Black or Latinx representation amongst principal engineers - no Black or Latinx representation in Slack leadership - salaries and leveling don't always look like they're fairly distributed
