Pros

I'm a recent hire at Slack, so can only speak to the interview and onboarding experience. With that in mind, I can say that throughout both processes I have been impressed with the professionalism and welcoming nature that all employees have shown me thus far. The company has high standards and goals for the business, but everyone is happy to take the time to welcome you and offer their help as you get up to speed.

Cons

Nothing to note so far!
