Hi everyone! Curious if anyone here works for Slack and can shed a little light on the culture and perhaps offer a referral for an associate brand manager position I just saw on LinkedIn. With the Salesforce acquisition are SF employees allowed to refer for Slack roles? Currently a senior analyst with 4 YOE looking to break into a branding role! Thanks in advance.

Interesting topic! Just following to learn.
I’ve done some work here. Two main ways in: M&A and monetization/pricing analytics.
Amazing!! Can you elaborate on both, and what types of companies/products you were working for?
For example, for monetization/pricing, what was the product? Was it like pricing the one-time purchase of a video game, like for a Nintendo? Or was it monetizing additional in-game purchases/subscriptions?

You play WoW?
No, but I played many similar games. Monetizing in-game purchases sounds like fun strategy work to do !!

You need to show the passion and be a gamer.
Current Activision chief strategy officer is a ex-McK guy…
Have a buddy working at one of the big companies. The type of work you’d expect: channel/market analysis, M&A screening and corp dev support, discrete pricing/GTM/portfolio/ops projects. Seemed pretty cool.
My read is they screen more akin to industry than tech. Solid strategy background and analytical skillset will be the biggest things to demonstrate. Genuine interest in video games a + but skillset is much more important. Would suggest knowing more about the market (indie/AAA dynamics, emerging trends in games and hardware, M&A activity, what that company’s portfolio looks like, etc.) than just being a fan of their games. Teams are small but it seems like a good gig.
MBA is also a viable path for entry. I believe Blizzard, Riot, EA, all hire from top schools.
