Pros

Slack was great, but the acquisition caused changes that violated Slack’s core beliefs and values.

Cons

Slack no longer covers healthcare 100%, vacation time is tightly monitored, and management is overwhelmed and never knows what’s coming down the pipe from Salesforce.

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.
