Just goes to show that this is definitely a great time to raise money!
Personally, I think Slack is smart to take the cash, although obviously it's going to require some serious discipline from them to make sure that it only helps them rather than hinders them.
I'm not an employee/investor/etc but I've been convincing freinds to apply to work at slack recently, I think if you are obsessed with productivity tools or communication tools, Slack, Asana or Quip are all companies worth looking at.
There's a compiled set of info on working at slack [1]. Disclaimer: I compiled it!
Back to my first point - now they have a ton of cash to hire a ton of people - very curious to see @slack in 6-12 months.
