Pros

Management really cares about you. You'll work with the smartest people you have in your career and you will work in a fast-paced space with an incredible opportunity.

Cons

The only real knock I have on Slack is being an employee in a non-SF office. The world seems to revolve around SF and it can feel like if you're not in that bubble you are lost in terms of recognition and more importantly career opportunity. I think this is something being addressed and feedback that is heard but as of right now this is still a sore spot for me.
