Pros

The pay is solid. The company is large enough that it cares about DEI and acts on it. Quality of life varies between managers.

Cons

It’s possible to be in a position where a manager can make your life difficult. I also found moving teams at slack fairly difficult, it felt as difficult as applying for a whole new job. It seems like the culture changed a bit after the layoffs. Quality of life highly depends on team.

Pros

Best-in-class software to work on, down-to-Earth collaboration, smart people, good diversity.

Cons

Speed has been cranked up at the cost of quality lately. Timelines are regularly changed, it's kind of a go-with-the-flow environment, can mean more work.
