Pros

-Strong core values -Inspiring leadership -Employees (at least on my team) are constantly finding new ways to be more efficient -Work/life balance is encouraged -Incredibly genuine people -Lots of opportunity for growth -Great benefits and perks

Cons

Startup environment and lots of processes are still being iterated on. Which I think can be both a pro and a con depending on if you thrive in startup environments or like working for companies with more structure.

Pros

Working on the same product you use on a daily basis is extremely motivating and fun. Lots of technical and professional challenges. Great opportunity to grow in your career. Great salaries and benefits.

Cons

Rather not say, but nothing major.

Pros

Good pay. Good options. Good location. Some good people on the team that you will befriend (that will eventually be let go).

Cons

Terrible management -- verbal abuse -- firing if you didn't fit into the boy's club or speak up about anything you don't like or refuse to do. Brogrammers. Management mislead people after layoffs so no one bought their options. Now Slack is valued at $2B.
