      Most amazing culture I've experienced professionally

      Account executive

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I started at Slack remotely during Covid-19 which has been a very difficult time for everyone. With everything going on in the world I was very nervous about leaving the comforts of my old company where I had a long close relationships with my colleagues and trying to ramp and learn everything to be successful alone from my home virtually. Thank goodness I trusted my recruiter and new manager and took the leap. Since starting at Slack I have been in awe of the thoughtfulness, compassionate support, transparency, and authentic leadership at Slack. The culture makes me want to work harder and definitely makes me see a long future at Slack.

      Cons

      Being a rapidly growing company there are a lot of new projects and processes to learn all while I've been trying to learn the original processes while remotely onboarding. Thankfully due to Slack using Slack to its fullest ability as a "Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge" I always have the ability to find the answers to all of my questions as things evolve and change.

      Inside matches the outside

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * What they say on the outside, they do on the inside * Actual empathy and caring for employees * Fast growing company * Care about their product and its effects on people, not just $$$ * Lots of good quality folks to work with * Always looking to improve employee experience - be place to do your best work

      Cons

      * Still a very San Francisco based company in operation (but improving) * Close to, but not yet profitable at time of writing * A bit senior+ level heavy. Need to encourage and develop & support more below senior roles.

      High Empathy Culture + High Motivation to Delivery Amazing products

      Director, product management
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Slack is full of highly motivated, smart, empathetic employees who look to build on each others strengths and make amazing products together. We live and work in the Slack product so we are dogfooding all day, every day. We want to make work easier for our users and live the mission. The company is grounded and centered in the best outcome for its users and support its employees (especially during the challenging times of covid-19), at an impressive level. Slack might be based in the Bay Area but it lacks some of the bad reputations of other tech companies in the area. A breath of fresh, exciting air!

      Cons

      We work hard and some people work long hours but it comes from the drive and motivation of the product and is never forced/required by upper management. I really can't think of any other cons!
