Pros

- Decent pay (Far better compensation when Slack was independent) - Unlimited Pay - Excellent WLB - Slack-specific (not Salesforce) is phenomenal. Everyone is so unbelievably kind. - World-class product with a ton of potential for growth

Cons

- Overbearing, less than stellar Salesforce culture - A ton of uncertainty regarding the company's goals/direction under Salesforce - The combination of layoffs and attrition has lead to A TON of incredible talent leaving and leading to significant loss in cultural and institutional knowledge Ultimately Slack went from being a phenomenal place to work to just ok which is truly a shame. It's still a good enough place to work but it's never going to be what it was pre-Salesforce acquisition.

Pros

Coworkers are smart, kind, and supportive. Good product. Interesting problems to solve.

Cons

Culture has lost its way a bit under Salesforce. Tight budget, hiring freezes, and tight ACV goals and deadlines have changed priorities across the company for the worse. Stock isn't doing well.
