Pros

I never thought it was possible to love your job. The people at Slack are incredible, the benefits are amazing and overall the company is incredibly thoughtful and caring of all employees and their needs.

Cons

There are some employees that put out a sense of entitlement...possibly because that was acceptable at previous companies? Hard to say, but thankfully that behavior is not accepted at Slack
