Pros

An amazing opportunity to build the foundation of how work gets done in the future. Working at Slack is a complete paradigm shift that I couldn’t have imagined prior to starting here. I don’t know how I’d ever work at a company that uses email again. There is tremendous career opportunity.

Cons

Not for those who lack resilience, struggle with ambiguity, need roles/priorities spelled out to them or who are looking to ‘coast’.
