Pros

There's so much that I can write about how much I've enjoyed my time at Slack, but if I had to sum it up, it comes down to the power of the platform that we sell, and the brilliance of the people that I get to work with on a day-to-day basis. Culturally, you can't beat the employee experience. Our office is so close, regardless of the department you work in. From a career perspective, there's tons of opportunity. In my experience, our leadership team has always prioritized career growth, and I couldn't be more appreciative.

Cons

I really can't think of any. I only have the most incredible things to say.

Pros

Great, smart, people. Lots to learn and develop. Corporate values that are very personally compatible with people who actually want to solve interesting problems, and a well balanced culture that matches the external image.

Cons

Hard to find! Sometimes the fast pace of the work and product releases is disorienting, but there's always an answer or a reason for the tough times.

Pros

- A rapidly growing business with ample space to solve new challenges - Transparency into company vision and direction from C-Suite - Diverse and inspiring team members with varied work and life experiences

Cons

Career progression at Slack is less linear than other companies I've worked at, it can be challenging to navigate promotion cycles or have calibration conversations that leave you with a clear understanding of what level you're operating at
