Pros

I've been at Slack for almost 4 years and the thing that has kept me here is the product. My colleagues are a delight, but the best part of my job is talking to customers every day about a product I believe in wholeheartedly.

Cons

All the normal scaling pains and trade-offs. Nothing unique to Slack and better managed here than anywhere else I've been.
