      Pros

      Work with some of the brightest and diverse people in tech. A lot of the engineers at Slack were previously at Facebook, Google, etc. and helped build out those companies. Awesome perks, good, food, great snacks, amazing founders very transparent work place. The people at Slack are very emphatic and help you when you need it. Oh yeah, free weekly massages are pretty awesome.

      Cons

      Tough deadlines can be stressful at times. Slack doesn't have catered food all days of the week (Maybe in the future :thinkingFace:). Some teams definitely have more work to do than others. If you're an engineer on one of these teams life can be a little stressful.

      Pros

      Below are just a few of the many reasons why Slack is an excellent company to work for: - Intelligent, but more importantly, empathetic people - Flexibility in choosing your work - Impactful projects - Excellent work-life balance - Solid compensation

      Cons

      None for me personally. Some people may not like the shift in culture as the company gets bigger, but this shift is essential if Slack wants to keep growing.

      Pros

      * Lots of openness & communication from the executive * Good focus on work/life balance. Everyone leaves at a reasonable hour and you aren't expected to work outside of work hours. Everyone takes vacation. * Benefits are good. * We get ownership of our projects and get a say in what we work on

      Cons

      * Pay is decent but not the best you can get in the industry
