      Pros

      People! The team at Slack is amazing to work with! People are not only extremely smart and competent bu are also very welcoming and empathetic to one another. Fun product to develop! The product has a huge impact on people's working life and it is cool to develop. Every idea counts, even if you are a junior developer! Great work/life balance! Everyone is very aware of each other time and are concerned about people having time relax and take care of themselves. Work hours are very flexible.

      Cons

      Most employees are in the US, so sometimes, in the all hands and town halls the information shared applies more the them than to the rest of the company, which can cause a bit of confusion.

      Pros

      Great culture, hardworking people, great projects, wonderful leadership, amazing compensation. I could go on and on! Seriously the best company I have worked at. For anyone on the outside looking at this review - dont think twice - apply.

      Cons

      Nothing much really but we could do a better job stopping MSFT's false narrative. Also we need to be more proactive weeding out incompetence and incompetent employees.
