Pros

- employees passionate about the work they do but at the same time realize it's not their whole life - managers are awesome. Kind, truly listen/care, and are helpful. They don't micromanage - Despite Slack being acquired by Salesforce, I still feel like I have the opportunity to change and make things better - Great work/life balance.

Cons

- Internal processes and HR Systems are a little clunky due to the salesforce acquisition. However it's understood by leadership and, and apparently planning to be improved in the next year.
