I did some analysis on ~1000 paying $WORK customers. Do engineers prefer Slack over Teams? Is it only scrappy startups/SMBs that use Slack? Using data from Slack customer lists + job openings from those companies, here are some interesting insights I found. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">

Stat #1: Among companies that use $WORK, 20% of their job openings are engineering. For Teams users, only 11% of their jobs are engineering. Companies with a focus on engineering choose Slack over Teams due to its many integrations with tools like Github/Jira/Pagerduty.

Stat #2: A lot of startups use $WORK. But what& #39;s more important is the BIGGEST innovators/unicorns use it. At least 65 of the top 100 private co by valuation ( @CBInsights) and 8 of top 10 are Slack customers. These are the future Fortune 500s that will grow in size + importance.

Stat #3 (a fun one): The average Glassdoor rating for companies that use $WORK was 3.87. The average Glassdoor rating for all companies is 3.3. Causation doesn& #39;t imply correlation, but it seems to suggest companies that allow remote work have higher job satisfaction overall.

Stat #4: $WORK is mentioned in twice the number of job openings as $MSFT Teams. While you wouldn& #39;t think of Slack or Teams as "skills", there are more roles in companies devoted to improving business workflows/processes by creating Slack bots and integrations.

Based on these insights, $WORK has a commanding lead among the biggest, disruptive innovators in the world. And as technology/automation becomes more important in every organization, Slack will become essential with its more than 2000 integrations.
