In this video, I talk about my experiences joining Slack after working at IBM for over 4 years. I start by talking about salary and compensation, and the differences in stock-based compensation between the two companies.
I then talk about employee demographics and company culture. This is simply my experience working at the company, so take it with a grain of salt, everyone's experience is different.
