Pros

Many opportunities to learn and grow in your skills and career, and effect change as the company grows. Support from peers and all levels of leadership is human and realistic— I feel valued and understood. As cheesy as it sounds, I truly believe that our executives want to make the world a better place.

Cons

Slack is growing and changing really fast, so it can be difficult to get "in a groove" or feel fully comfortable.
