Pros

People care are about each other and work life balance is real. We are intentional about fostering a diverse and inclusive work culture. Folks here are self reflective and are constantly trying to reevaluate how to make Slack better- we can admit when we made mistakes and be humble about how to move forward.

Cons

Growing pains, constantly changing processes. Career development not as defined and we need more transparency around decision making from leadership.
