Pros: Challenging engineering work, dedicated and hardworking teammates, and I learned a lot solving interesting problems. There is a good work-life balance.

Cons: Woke company politics and discrimination against white males in hiring.

Pros: The pay is solid. The company is large enough that it cares about DEI and acts on it. Quality of life varies between managers.

Cons: It’s possible to be in a position where a manager can make your life difficult. I also found moving teams at Slack fairly difficult, and it felt as difficult as applying for a whole new job. It seems like the culture changed a bit after the layoffs. Quality of life highly depends on the team.

Pros: Interesting challenges, kind and smart people, great diversity, and lots of senior mentorship

Cons: Loved my time here, and only left for a unique opportunity.
