Slack

Startup mentality, over allocated staff, long days, little appreciation for efforts, inconsistent messaging from top down, low maturity as an organization, burnout, history of high attrition, likely due to leadership issues and over allocation of resources without extra compensation. Elitist attitude toward coworkers and lack of support and recognition from coworkers and leadership. Extreme focus on diversity, at the expense of the homogeneous. Lack of time to attend training. 

Loss of on site benefits of lunches and nice workspace due to Covid, etc. etc. etc........

Extra workload due to Covid, not enough money to cover expense of working from home, mixed messaging on future remote work policy

Slack was one of the best research and work experiences I have ever had. The research team was stellar and provided the mentorship I desperately wanted. They provided constructive feedback on my work and guidance on being successful in the industry. The company culture was supportive and great. They wanted you to be happy and go home at the end of the day. I felt like a part of the team since day 1. The perks and people were great. 10/10 an amazing company to be a part of.

I love working for Slack as a company and generally love the product and the company's mission to create a Digital HQ. However, there is little to no direction from senior leadership and managers tend to shift metrics and goals very often without informing their employees. This is very frustrating as it is difficult to tell how you're doing in any given role. 

Slack is truly the best company I’ve worked for. The people are great, and the pay and benefits are awesome but the acquisition by Salesforce is definitely causing a shift in company culture and morale. Recent layoffs caused a lot of distrust with Salesforce and they’ve also taken away quite a few benefits that made working here great.

They pretty much sink or swim you .if you can't adjust to their system without training you are let go.  They also let the FTE employees roam free without and responsibility. So it's on you to learn and train yourself and if you mess up prepare for a write up.

Interested place to work on a fast-paced platform is every tech savy innovation Mind setters dream.. the company basically connect other stores to one plat form chat boots, Store Shipping Development information... Teammates meeting,  price changes, inventory sales, profit sharing, documents sharing you name it....

solid place to work - most people are very smart and willing to help. leadership changes objectives a lot but it does depend on what team you are. Overall good, but seems to be going down hill

The manager I worked with was terrible, and needs further training to do her job better. The amount of responsibility versus the payoff for this role was not worth it by any means.

Good company, smart people but Salesforce acquisition is bad on morale. Folks are general nice and very smart. It’s easy to get along everyone. Salesforce culture clashes with Slack’s and senior leadership is slowly getting taken over by Salesforce leaders.

A challenging yet incredibly rewarding experience. Kind, thoughtful, and motivated colleagues. Exciting and fun product. Company values you can stand behind. I'm learning something new every week and actually having fun doing so. 👍🏼
