About Slack
What is Slack?
Slack is a business messaging platform that connects employees, partners, and customers in organized channels for collaboration, automation, and AI-powered work. Founded in 2009 and acquired by Salesforce in 2021, Slack operates as a distinct product brand within Salesforce.
Where will I work?
Slack is a hybrid workplace with San Francisco HQ and offices globally. Salesforce's flexible work model lets team members determine how and where they work best.
What is the team like?
Around 2,500 employees in the Slack business unit, part of Salesforce's ~76,000-employee organization. Roles span product, engineering, design, sales, customer success, marketing and operations.
Work-Life Balance
Slack's headline work-life perk is Focus Fridays: "On Focus Fridays, teams cancel all internal meetings and employees are encouraged to turn off their notifications so they can work without interruptions." External customer meetings still happen; the policy targets the internal meeting load. Salesforce-inherited benefits include unlimited PTO and 26 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers (12 weeks for secondary).
Perks and Benefits
- Focus Fridays — internal meetings cancelled company-wide; notifications encouraged off.
- Unlimited PTO — flexibility to take time off when needed.
- Generous parental leave — 26 weeks for primary caregivers, 12 weeks for secondary at 100% base salary.
- Maker Weeks — quarterly weeks of dedicated focused work time.
- Wellness stipend and professional development support.
- Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage.
