Pros

Working with Slack recruiting was one of the most professional and enjoyable recruiting experiences I have had. My recruiter, Grace Lee, was personable, prompt, and knowledgeable about Slack. She patiently worked with me to ensure that I understood the role and the company, took time to understand my questions, and provided insightful responses. My first impression of the company came from Grace and her representation was a major contributor in my choice to work at Slack.

Cons

I can't think of any cons. I've worked as an engineer at several large organizations and this environment is the best fit for me.
