Pros

+ Culture - Everyone who works here is intelligent and accomplished but they are also real humans who admit weakness and continue to learn and grow. +Leadership - This is not their first rodeo, our exec team has helped other great companies scale through IPO and acquisition. + Brand - There are a lot of interesting B2B technologies out there but very few that care about creating an emotional connection with users the way Slack does. + Slack - Spending my day working in Slack is a breath of fresh air. Slack really does make my working life simpler, more pleasant, more productive. + Communication - Given our size, leadership does a good job of communicating with employees and ensuring that everyone is along for the ride. +Passion - It's a pretty big love fest around here. From our customers to our employees, - we all LOVE Slack.

Cons

- Compensation - Given that we are attracting the best and brightest I think the pay should be more competitive. Our benefits are very good, not best in class, but very good.
