Pros

Great, smart, people. Lots to learn and develop. Corporate values that are very personally compatible with people who actually want to solve interesting problems, and a well balanced culture that matches the external image.

Cons

Hard to find! Sometimes the fast pace of the work and product releases is disorienting, but there's always an answer or a reason for the tough times.

Cons

so far, none that I can think of

Pros

- A rapidly growing business with ample space to solve new challenges - Transparency into company vision and direction from C-Suite - Diverse and inspiring team members with varied work and life experiences

Cons

Career progression at Slack is less linear than other companies I've worked at, it can be challenging to navigate promotion cycles or have calibration conversations that leave you with a clear understanding of what level you're operating at
