Pros

easy to get things done on monolithic architecture good direct teammates

Cons

no RSU refreshers that come anywhere close to the initial grant, don't expect to stay here longer than 4 years. very stagnant for your software engineering career, there aren't any interesting engineering problems to solve (which yeah, is a testament to how well slack's architecture works) 0 growth opportunity team handed off to 4 different managers in as many months salesforce influenced culture becoming very toxic

Pros

- You can say you have a corporate tech job - Education reimbursement to gain skills to apply elsewhere

Cons

- Slack culture is now practically non-existent - Slowing snuffing out remote opportunities, but won't openly communicate that to employees - Limited relocation opportunities for employees, unless you want to live somewhere exciting like Texas or Indiana. - Sudden or incomplete rollouts of Salesforce integrations without proper communication to the teams supporting them
