Pros

I have been working at the company for more than 2 years. 1. Great work. Challenging engineering problems 2. You should see the beauty with which some processes are implemented - I would in particular call out the incident handling process. It is probably the best amongst software industry 3. Intelligent and nice people. "No brilliant jerks" 4. The way Slack uses Slack creates an implicit documentation from the communication 5. Employee perks best in the class 6. Lots of growth opportunities. You can switch teams or roles if you are not happy with your current role. 7. Competitive salary

Cons

Not much that I can think of. I am really satisfied with my job. I feel challenged and enthusiastic in my work. (please note, this is still true after spending ~2 years at the company)
