Pros

- The value the company overall places on content and writers. Never before have I worked at a company that said they valued this type of work, and meant it. This comes through in the compensation offered, but also in the type of feedback one gets from senior design management, and the rigor (but still constructive and collaborative!) of the content team in reviews. - A career ladder that allows one to advance even if one has no desire to ever manage a team. - Amazing culture. It sounds like kool-aid until you get here and realize it's actually all true. Remarkably little politicking and brown-nosing - Transparency from leadership - Possibly not a pro to many others, but I think it's nice that the company doesn't offer free meals all week to its employees. It feels like a very conscious decision to encourage employees to spend in the local community (or bring food from home).

Cons

- Ramp up isn't easy. There's a lot going on, and very little source of truth documentation. The recommendation is that you search the history of Slack's Slack for any information you need, and it usually works, but does require extra time/effort than someone pointing you to an updated style guide. - While Slack is great for MANY things, sometimes there's a tendency to do it ALL in Slack, when it'd be easier to have the conversation in person.
