      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Leadership, work-life balance, culture, community

      Cons

      Everything you would expect working for a hyper-growth, recently-public company. Lots changing at all times both internally and externally but I have total trust in our team to bring us through any/ everything, which says a lot.

      Great Place to Work

      Software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People! The team at Slack is amazing to work with! People are not only extremely smart and competent bu are also very welcoming and empathetic to one another. Fun product to develop! The product has a huge impact on people's working life and it is cool to develop. Every idea counts, even if you are a junior developer! Great work/life balance! Everyone is very aware of each other time and are concerned about people having time relax and take care of themselves. Work hours are very flexible.

      Cons

      Most employees are in the US, so sometimes, in the all hands and town halls the information shared applies more the them than to the rest of the company, which can cause a bit of confusion.

      Highly Rated Employer!

      Pros

      Very generous compensation and benefits. Staff are valued and trusted, our wellbeing is always a top priority. This means flexible working hours, time off when needed, access to resources and benefits to take care of physical and mental health, lots of internal opportunities for further development and learning.

      Cons

      I'm trying to be super critical but honestly for me I couldn't ask for any more. We are constantly in a state of hyper-growth which means it can be fast paced and pretty demanding work. If we did not have such investment in our wellbeing it could be easy to burn out. It's important to disconnect and thankfully we are encouraged to do so.
