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
