      Pros

      People oriented culture ! Engineers love it here - great challenging problems to work on and full autonomy to make and drive decisions.

      Cons

      Growing pains with hiring and ideal org structure. This is more of a first world good problem to have. I have full confidence in exec leadership to make the right adjustments in the coming years.

      Long-time Slack employee, and plan to be one for a long-time yet

      Pros

      • The people - This is what attracted me to the company initially and it's what's kept me here for almost 6 years. Collaboration skills are considered crucial, and toxic lone wolves don't last long • The product - It's really fulfilling to work on something that so many people use and rely on. • Strong commitment to diversity and belonging, since the earliest days of the company - This is something that everyone cares about, from the CEO on down. There will always be work to do here, but we're doing it with a deep-seeded cultural commitment • Hard problems to solve - In Engineering, there is so much work to be done. We're reaching levels of scale that require novel solutions; off-the-shelf approaches won't work. Add to that adoption by the largest companies in the world, distributed across the globe, and it makes for some meaty projects

      Cons

      • If you aren't aligned with the culture, you will probably have a tough time here. Read the @SlackHQ Twitter account or slack.engineering blog to see some examples of the culture. If that's not for you, then it will be an uphill fight to find happiness here • It's a crucial service for most of our customers, so if something happens to impact that, it's priority number one to fix it. If you don't like being on pager rotation occasionally, steer clear • You can probably get higher base salaries elsewhere. If you don't think the stock has a lot of upside, then the numbers probably won't look that good to you.
