Pros

• Slack does Customer Experience right! We have a lot of freedom to do what is best for our users. This is a gem in the world of Customer Experience. • Great team and atmosphere, I work with a great lot of people, everyone's giving it 100%. • High-profile company, the product is amazing, and the benefits are very competitive.

Cons

• Don't be fooled by the no-blame, no-ego, we're-all-in-this-together approach. There is politics, like everywhere else. • The people at the very top of Customer Experience are control freaks. Their baby is growing up and they're having a hard time letting to. They are not receptive to disagreement, they get involved at a level they should not be and consistently undermine our managers. They don't know how to manage more structured organisation (or people it seems) and it can get messy and confusing.

Pros

Fast paced, most engineering work is figuring out how to get bigger. I have a lot of flexibility on what I will work on. Great benefits. I do not work with any jerks.

Cons

Growing pains: cramped space, confused managers. Can be high pressure depending on team. Dogmatically far-left-wing politics.

Pros

Decent opportunities for growth. Working hours flexibility. Relaxed environment and fantastic colleagues. Versatile position — definitely not a call centre kind of job if that's what you're imagining.

Cons

Californian PC culture can be a bit too strong.
