Great place to work

Pros

-Strong executive leadership team with experience, focus, and transparent communication -Noticeable work/life balance with a "work hard, go home" mindset -Feels like I'm working with experienced adults which is refreshing for a tech company -Incredible focus on diversity and inclusion in our work environments, teams, and hiring efforts -Lots of room to build and scale various projects, initiatives, and and processes

Cons

-Not necessarily a con, but we're noticeably more budget conscious than your average tech company which can feel surprising if you come from a company with free meals, onsite gym, and enough free company shirts to outfit your wardrobe. As a shareholder I'm happy this money goes into other parts of the business and all the pros and other benefits of working at Slack outweigh these more minor perks.

Favorite job of my career so far

Pros

Smart, empathetic coworkers who share values and motivation, feeling that you're making or growing something special that's really changing the way people work together, great perks that aren't too ostentatious, friendly to working parents, older average age so you're working with grownups, tolerance and/or support for creative experimentation, big equity potential.

Cons

Fast growth that makes consistency across departments hard to maintain, need to fill positions has led to some hasty hiring of people who turn out not to work out, leadership has genuinely great intentions that in some cases seem to be a challenge to follow through on.
