Pros

Slack is a great place to work. The team is incredibly smart and capable, and the market opportunity is massive. I truly believe we can reach every knowledge worker in the world, both because of Slack the product and the people who work here.

Cons

Competition and change! People love email and convincing them to use Slack is the biggest challenge we face.

Pros

I joined Slack 1.5 years ago and can honestly say that Slack is the best place I have ever worked in my career by far. Slack has a very unique blend of the following components which make it (in my opinion) such a great place to work: 1) Thoughtful and humble internal culture 2) Incredible leadership that puts the wellbeing of the employees first 3) Very intelligent, talented people all throughout the company 4) Slack's platform is driving huge transformation in the market, not to mention fun to use for all that we do

Cons

Working in a hyper growth environment can be challenging as certain processes may not be mature (or even in place for that matter). One can also find themselves wearing many hats, which can be challenging if one does not brutally prioritize and manage their time and personal well being
