      Pros

      Culture encourages people to naturally be themselves, it stopped being classified as work for me a long time ago and more of a place my brain goes to think about people collaborate. Work life balance is not just talked about but demonstrated here. Work hard and go home was painted on the wall of my office and it's respected and adhered to. I had a life event and my manager simply said, "go and do what you need to do, your family comes first".

      Cons

      It is a big responsibility to handle the collaboration of the size of customers we have, it is not necessary a negative but something to remember from time to time.

      Pros

      The way that Slack has handled 2020 is incredible, and gives a great idea of what to expect when on this team. We moved to WFH optional back in early March, before many companies had done so. We were given a stipend for at home office needs. The timing of this meant that we were ahead of other companies, and when ordering a desk and monitor, etc..they were all still in stock. Slack took on a day a month to all take the day off. They introduced a new type of Time Away that didn't use up sick time, but allowed us to miss work if needed for impact caused by all the uncertain circumstances. I'm able to work remotely with an incredible team that I still stay really connected with. I've felt treated very human during these difficult times, and empowered to treat those around me and that I manage with that same care.

      Cons

      It's a lot, things don't ever shut down or quiet fully. It likely depends a lot on the dept you work for what cons come up. I would say that there is not a lot of interaction with others outside of my department. Now that we aren't in an office, my circle is pretty small.

      2020 has indeed been a challenging year and we’re happy to hear that you’ve felt supported with our work from home stipend, additional days of PTO, and emergency paid time off. The health of our employees comes first! -Slack
