Pros

- Opportunity to move around the company if you put in the work. - Great Leadership program. They truly invest in the best people leaders who can help support you. - There's endless opportunity to do impactful, meaningful work. - The people here are *incredible* and talented.

Cons

- Very few! I think the job is what you make it, and high effort reaps high reward. - Work/life balance can be challenging in such a quick moving, change-positive company.

Pros

- The best people, and a really healthy culture - even working remotely, you will feel included and engaged - Work with an amazing product that really impacts people's working lives - Really walk the talk when it comes to social justice and diversity - Tons of opportunity to take initiative, and learn/grow outside of your role - Best perks/benefits around

Cons

- This isn't really a negative, but Slack is a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment. To be successful here, you must be able to weather uncertainty. Despite this, you will be well supported.

Pros

- Very transparent company. - Lot's of opportunities to learn and grow within different areas of the company. - Management is very supportive and want you to succeed. - Outstanding personal/ entertainment perks along with professional development funds and opportunities. - Lots of remote roles. You can leverage working from home and still be in/ work towards a role that is offered in a different country, region, etc.

Cons

Not many... Due to covid, working from the office is not a possibility at the moment. Miss the team lunches, and events :(
