Pros

- The best people, and a really healthy culture - even working remotely, you will feel included and engaged - Work with an amazing product that really impacts people's working lives - Really walk the talk when it comes to social justice and diversity - Tons of opportunity to take initiative, and learn/grow outside of your role - Best perks/benefits around

Cons

- This isn't really a negative, but Slack is a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment. To be successful here, you must be able to weather uncertainty. Despite this, you will be well supported.
