Pros

Work with some of the brightest and diverse people in tech. A lot of the engineers at Slack were previously at Facebook, Google, etc. and helped build out those companies. Awesome perks, good, food, great snacks, amazing founders very transparent work place. The people at Slack are very emphatic and help you when you need it. Oh yeah, free weekly massages are pretty awesome.

Cons

Tough deadlines can be stressful at times. Slack doesn't have catered food all days of the week (Maybe in the future :thinkingFace:). Some teams definitely have more work to do than others. If you're an engineer on one of these teams life can be a little stressful.

Pros

-Strong executive leadership team with experience, focus, and transparent communication -Noticeable work/life balance with a "work hard, go home" mindset -Feels like I'm working with experienced adults which is refreshing for a tech company -Incredible focus on diversity and inclusion in our work environments, teams, and hiring efforts -Lots of room to build and scale various projects, initiatives, and and processes

Cons

-Not necessarily a con, but we're noticeably more budget conscious than your average tech company which can feel surprising if you come from a company with free meals, onsite gym, and enough free company shirts to outfit your wardrobe. As a shareholder I'm happy this money goes into other parts of the business and all the pros and other benefits of working at Slack outweigh these more minor perks.
