Pros

Overall, Slack has a good set of co-workers within Engineering. The product is decent, and contributes to helping people get work done as opposed to just making money off of ads.

Cons

There is no company direction. The product is stagnant, and the focus is primarily on getting more users as opposed to making a better product. No one, either in engineering or product management, can make a long term roadmap. We move from the crisis of today to the crisis of tomorrow. We constantly spread ourselves too thin.

Pros

This company cares so deeply about their people, and the way they've navigated COVID-19 and the shift to WFH is a shining example of that. Strong leadership at every level of the organization.

Cons

Pace of change is blisteringly rapid. You need stamina, grit, and perseverance to keep up and thrive in this environment.
