Pros

* Competitive Compensation & Benefits * Thorough interview process * Possibility for collaboration across teams / departments * Heavy use of Slack at Slack!

Cons

* Values are not lived, inclusion and diversity are mostly buzzwords without consideration of the real lived experience of minority groups or what true inclusion might look like * Strong internal censorship, messaging closely watched and criticised if seen as inappropriate or not towing the party-line * Focus on external image overwrites focus on wellbeing of employees at times * Very limited career opportunities in EMEA, centralised decision making from the US which impacts growth and opportunities in EMEA * New employees are specifically asked to provide Glassdoor reviews.
