downhill very quickly
It is easy to get things done on a monolithic architecture.
We have good, direct teammates.
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.
