Pros: It was alright to work here.

Cons: Could have been paid more

Pros: It is easy to get things done on a monolithic architecture. We have good, direct teammates.

Cons: No RSU refreshers that come anywhere close to the initial grant, and do not expect to stay here longer than 4 years. Very stagnant for your software engineering career, because 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: Uses Slack for everything, obviously; great work-life balance; and clear expectations in eng IC career ladder.

Cons: More and more Salesforce corporate policies are eroding the old Slack people-first culture. I've felt disengaged with executive leadership since the departure of Cal Henderson.
