Their willingness to listen to perspectives across the company
Review from Sales Dept
No team is perfect in any organisation, but Stack's SLT displays a level of empathy, transparency and honesty that I've never experienced before in my career (from startups to big tech). Great job to the entire leadership team!!!
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership team's communication is clear and often. From what I can tell, they are transparent with our challenges as a company. There are also "office hours" sessions in our calendars that we can drop in on to interact with the leadership team.

What is the best part about your compensation package?
Outside of the pay, I appreciate all the smaller pieces of our package, for example the home office setup budget and Calm subscription

The fully sponsored benefits package is best in class.
Review from Sales Dept
pension, stock options, bonuses, medical care, educational expense reimbursement
Review from Engineering Dept
The money is fair, but my favourite part is the vacation schedule. There are a number of company days off, we get some extra afternoons in the summer, and extra time between Christmas and New Years on top of our regular vacation days.

My team is extremely capable with a broad spectrum of expertise. Our SE team is tightly connected to other BUs while being the voice of our customers. The team is always willing to collaborate and work together to solve problems.

collaboration, safe space, transparency, ways of working, top tier leadership from everyone
Review from Engineering Dept
The teams have a lot of autonomy and they all seem to have their own "personality".
Review from Engineering Dept
My team were very welcoming and I love that not all interactions are work specific but time is taken to chat casually as you would if you were together in person

Stack has an inclusive culture. People seem pretty grounded and courteous. There isn't a lot of interrupting or abrasive personalities. From what I can tell, people are comfortable speaking up without fear of repercussions.

There isn't an expectation to work way beyond your hours / weekends

The Talent Acquisition team does their best to give timely updates and a clear outline of the interview process along with who I'd meet with. I felt like I was set up for success.

It wasn't over the top, it was straight to the point!

Constant touch points with the recruitment team
The level of detail that the team went into with each interaction. It was long, but no step seemed unnecessary.

I was interviewed three years ago - the interview process is very different now
