Working at Stack is fun, challenging, and rewarding. Everyone cares deeply about the company and brand, working together for it to succeed.

The culture here at Stack is truly impeccable, I see why folks have been here for as long as the company first started over 15 years ago.

I like working here and I'm very happy to have joined. The overall company culture is great and there are a lot of great people here. There is a strong emphasis on personal development and a lot of resources are provided to that end.

Overall it's a great company to work at. There are definitely some concerns around the future of the company but right now things seem mostly positive and I'm certainly enjoying my work.

The leadership is very open and transparent, plus they actually treat me like a person and heavily emphasize the importance of work/life balance.

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!!!

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.

Showing that they are interested in more than the profit-centers of the company. Prashanth almost never talks about our actual public sites and the achievements of the teams working on them. Everything is about Teams and Collectives.

Being more transparent, and making sure people aren't over-worked

paying higher salaries to existing employees, company morale

Honestly all of it is amazing, but the health/vision/dental insurance is fantastic and the FTO is really nice. It makes it a lot easier to balance life with work and not feel like I'm gonna lose my job if I get sick.

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.

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.

More compensation would make me feel better about my compensation. I regularly get offered positions with significantly higher pay.

Pay should be higher like how it is at other tech companies.

Base salary is not in line with the industry. Had to take a substantial pay cut in salary to work at SO. There's no room to increase salary even when you're exceeding your goals.

From a salary perspective, I am underpaid by about 25%, but the benefits make up a partial difference. Not many companies can match our benefits. This is also an FYI as I'm too lazy to look for another job.

My commission plan is wrong, has been for 9 months. I'm excluded from bonuses whereas my colleagues on the same team are eligible. My scope of work is not known / understood by my manager.

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.

The teams have a lot of autonomy and they all seem to have their own "personality".

I only put no because there was not a sometimes option. Interacting with Engineering, Product, and Community teams is always a great experience. Dealing with the sales organization can sometimes be trying.

Some coworkers are very smart and hardworking, some don't pull their weight. Management needs to performance manage better.

As a queer and trans person, it's so nice to feel like I can be myself and be respected at work. The ERG's we have are very helpful too, and fosters a sense of belonging. I have yet to come across a single person that wasn't pleasant or accepting.

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.

Way less internal meetings. Our internal meeting culture is a real drag down on the morale of the team

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.

The culture and benefits are probably the best perks, but I also appreciate that it feels like we're fairly compensated. I also just love the camaraderie here. It's nice to be able to speak to everyone - regardless of position - like normal people.

Our code base is older and large. It takes some history with it to to be successful. I haven't yet been able to just sit down and crunch through solid tasks. Everything takes a lot of figuring out and discussion and it isn't very satisfying to work in.

While we are working towards maturing the company, I'd like us to also look into the case studies from many other companies showing working long hours and working hard for long periods of time hurt productivity. I would like us to try 4-day work weeks as there are numerous studies showing it works

The community regularly gives feedback that we don't listen or care about their needs and launch things they don't want. We need to get better at this faster than we are. Things are changing too slowly and we're losing their engagement and trust.

We're losing our biggest asset: people. With so many folks leaving, and the workload being rebalanced on the remaining people, it always feels like we're in survival mode, and because those people are no more, the work environment gets a lot less exciting.
