      Best place I have ever worked!

      Pros

      - Intelligent, kind, fun, caring coworkers - Personal/Professional Development Budget for each employee - We take our values to heart and that comes from the top down - The work/life balance is great (work hard and go home) - There is constant discussion among all employees about how we 'do that right thing'. That looks different for everyone, but I appreciate that there is always an open dialogue around the decisions we make across the whole company - Experience managers/leadership. This isn't their first rodeo. - Diversity matters here and is openly discussed - I am able to focus on my work and I know that Slack will do right by me (comp, benefits, culture, work/life balance, etc.) - I could go on and on...

      Cons

      - If Stewart told me to jump off a cliff, I'd probably do it. - I'd OF COURSE rather be overly PC then not at all...but it can be a bit much sometimes.

      Pros

      - exciting business opportunity with tons of upside still ahead - very smart people to work with and learn from - good diversity of backgrounds and experience - no jerks, lots of respect and empathy for co-workers - opportunity to create and build something amazing - everyone has a hand in creating the business and helping determine its future - worklife balance is real here for everyone, including parents

      Cons

      Few to mention here... - too open? Sometimes conversations about small topics will take center stage in the internal news cycle which can be a distraction from the work at hand. - Life is great here and wouldn't trade it but it feels like we may be a bit over-entitled at times. It's not outrageous, but can be a little silly at times.
