Pros

Benefits are fine. Some teams I think have work life balance, but others (like mine) have none .

Cons

- Salesforce acquisition terrible biztech experience (overall tech issues, duplicated calendars & email accounts, compensation plan mistakes, etc). Everyone is leaving and there's a massive loss of institutional knowledge. - Working in Slack sucks, it's exhausting and feels very reactive. Constant fire-fighting and extremely difficult to 'switch off' after hours. SO much anxiety, Slack as a platform was much more pleasant when used NOT at Slack. - Diversity sucks. No career opportunities.
