      Fake, Political and Orwellian

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great benefits - Good name recognition - Fair compensation

      Cons

      - Sudden, unexpected early success led to inflated egos and poor governance among company leaders - As a result, the company's culture is a strange mix of entitlement, self-aggrandizement, with some deep-seeded insecurity - From the C level on down, the company says the right things -- from strategy to cultural engineering -- it is about "vision", "diversity" and so on - When it comes down to practice, such as hiring, review or planning, the decisions are often arbitrary, and clownishly contradicting - Yet the enforcement of those decisions is nothing short of authoritarian. PeopleOps operates like a secret police force: some lunch time bantering about the company's direction would be reported, recorded, then came back to haunt you during reviews

      Most incredible place to work!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Incredible culture (which is still evident even while working remote - I personally joined the team mid-pandemic) - Very competitive pay - Management actually *wants* to be in management, and cares about team development as their top priority (have worked at other SaaS companies where this was not the case) - Great work life balance (ex/ Fri-yay days off) - Set up to succeed in terms of resources (given $1,000 USD for home office set up), also given $ for wifi bills etc - Everyone in the company is so friendly and willing to help (we have 1:1s set up with other employees from other teams/offices, and everyone is truly so open to meeting and learning from one another/just chatting to ensure that we are all feeling heard during these trying times)

      Cons

      - Can't think of any... can't wait to eventually get into the office hopefully summer of 2021!

      Pros

      - Innovation is highly valued and rewarded - Great pay and benefits - Fantastic work perks (even while remote) - Very inclusive and diverse - Awesome product - Work/life balance -Great folks to work with who truly care about their work and the people they work with - Very transparent leadership, you can ask them anything (there is literally a channel for this)

      Cons

      Slack is not a start up now, but still a newer company than most public companies. So processes on some teams are still being built out. This may not be a "con" if you like to roll up your sleeves and build out functions/processes. But if you prefer highly structured environments, this could be frustrating.
