Pros

- I've worked at companies with very smart people and I've worked at companies with very kind people. Slack is the first I've worked at where my peers are very much both. - Culture

Cons

- The growth of company has resulted in lots of restructuring and constant change, which in itself is not a bad thing, but is a source of stress.

Pros

Overall this has been a good place to work. The company is growing, the product and teams are growing, so there's opportunity to take on challenging work of increasing scope and complexity. The senior leadership of the company is experienced and better than other places I've worked, and the new senior leadership hires all seem to be people with good backgrounds who I respect and think will level up the company. Work-life balance is extremely reasonable.

Cons

They tell you "here's the target bonus percentage," what they don't tell you is that there's also a company multiplier, which historically has never been 1. It seems based on rather optimistic stretch goals. Don't expect to get your full bonus amount.
