Pros

I interviewed during Covid and was concerned about switching organizations during a tough time. The people during the interview process came off sincere and shared the value of people first. I have months in and this is very true.

Cons

Very steep learning curve. If you have not worked in Slack full time, it can be very overwhelming. It is a very different way of working.
