Pros

The people are fantastic, collaborative, hardworking, humble and smart about what's important. On top of that the culture of empathy and inclusiveness is second to one.

Cons

Still trying to find one!

Pros

I joined Slack 1.5 years ago and can honestly say that Slack is the best place I have ever worked in my career by far. Slack has a very unique blend of the following components which make it (in my opinion) such a great place to work: 1) Thoughtful and humble internal culture 2) Incredible leadership that puts the wellbeing of the employees first 3) Very intelligent, talented people all throughout the company 4) Slack's platform is driving huge transformation in the market, not to mention fun to use for all that we do

Cons

Working in a hyper growth environment can be challenging as certain processes may not be mature (or even in place for that matter). One can also find themselves wearing many hats, which can be challenging if one does not brutally prioritize and manage their time and personal well being

Pros

People genuinely care, are kind, hard-working, incredibly smart. We use our product in a unique way. Stewart and the exec team provide great leadership, especially through this trying time of a global pandemic. The company takes care of their employees, allowing for unlimited emergency time off and other flexibility. Benefits in general are excellent, family forming, work from home office stipend, professional development, etc. The response to the Black Lives Matter movement has been stellar, and I'm very proud of the Last Mile program and to work with Next Chapter employees.

Cons

There is so much going on, it's hard to feel like there is clear direction on prioritization across teams when conflicts arise.
