      Pros

      - exciting business opportunity with tons of upside still ahead - very smart people to work with and learn from - good diversity of backgrounds and experience - no jerks, lots of respect and empathy for co-workers - opportunity to create and build something amazing - everyone has a hand in creating the business and helping determine its future - worklife balance is real here for everyone, including parents

      Cons

      Few to mention here... - too open? Sometimes conversations about small topics will take center stage in the internal news cycle which can be a distraction from the work at hand. - Life is great here and wouldn't trade it but it feels like we may be a bit over-entitled at times. It's not outrageous, but can be a little silly at times.

      Pros

      -No winers or negativity persists on any team. Employees know to bring your true self but also fun and supportive self to work. Never felt like there is drama or negativity -Great management team who is there from beginning -Fastest growing business saas company -Managers are held to a high standard and held responsible for any over-time work of employees. Never seen this before. This is truly great and avoids burn-out on teams -On-boarding is world class -Get to work on slack without ever having to send e-mail. Such zen every day -Super perks

      Cons

      -Meals only 3/week and on odd schedules. Step 1 is to get lunches 3/week even if removing breakfast+dinner that is once/week since having lunch catered often is the true-time saver and productivity enhancer -No stock refreshes to date

      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.
