      Pros

      Game changing technology and massive market opportunity ahead - We're 1% penetrated in a 700 million knowledge worker market. Unique culture that emphasizes customer and team first. Great opportunity for career growth: A colleague was promoted to manager role and many others have been promoted into Senior AE roles. Achieved some great milestones in 2017 including landing Large Enterprise logos that few 4 year old companies can boast about: IBM, Oracle, SAP, American Express, Capital One, eBay, Paypal, Walmart. Best parts about working at Slack: Being surround by intelligent, empathetic teammates, helping effect a fundamental change in how people use technology to get work done, exciting personal career growth and earnings opportunities, and visionary leadership from Stewart Butterfield who has surrounded himself with an impressive executive team.

      Cons

      The sales organization still comprises a smaller percentage of the total employees, so developing a strong voice/seat at the table with larger product and engineering organization has taken time. I've seen positive changes over the last year here so I anticipate progress will continue to improve.

      Pros

      The company culture is the best. The people you will be working with and the ones you won't will treat you like family. There's a sense of ownership that I have never seen before

      Cons

      So far, everything has been positive

      Enterprise Sales Reps Beware...

      Pros

      An elegant, disruptive product with a compelling mission and strong delivery. Very smart, motivated, and passionate employee base.

      Cons

      I feel like I'm watching Death of a SaaS salesman play out right before my eyes. We have an amazing product, an amazing opportunity...lots of pipeline...yet it's nearly impossible to make real money. Why? Because commission rates are at the absolute bottom of the market. If you've been accustomed to a typical SaaS commission rate of 10%...you will NOT find that here...not even close. At Slack, your commission rate will be at 3% or less. Yes, it's true... if you close a $1M deal, you will only get paid about $30K before taxes. It's unclear whether this is a CEO driven philosophical shift in not rewarding the revenue generators of the company or whether it's because Slack sales mgmt has come from non-enterprise sales roles at companies or channels where they have historically underpaid sales people (ie. DropBox, SFDC Commercial/SMB, LinkedIn etc)... but it's become a shock that has rippled through our sales org at the cost productivity. It's demoralizing, distracting, and disappointing, especially for the newer sales hires who were misled to believe they'd be able to make real money.
