Office Space Anyone?

In the presentation eight employees of Slack Inc. were extremely informative and helpful in distinguishing what exactly happened within the company. Slack Inc. is a global information and service provider that produces over 42 journals and newspapers, and keeps up with over 54 websites. They have eighteen association partners from which these productions take place.

Welcome to the world of cubicles! Although Slack Inc. was very informative, I learned that it is not the place that I would like to be some day. Each department, except for one, was very calm and quite, full of fluorescent lights and gray walls, which would personally drive me insane.

The art department was fascinating, and the most interesting place out of the entire building. The speaker for the department, Tom, spoke of using Studio One, and that anyone who wishes to work there needs a degree in graphic design.

Out of the whole presentation the most helpful information that the company gave as a whole was the interview process. Many of the students in the class will be interning and interviewing with different companies. The employees gave very valuable advice on how to show your personality, what to have on your resume, as well as appropriate attire for an interview.

Although I know the company of Slack Inc. is not for me, each of the employees were very kind, and helpful with any questions. In my future I hope I am able to find a company that has the personality of family like Slack Inc.
