Slack reviews

- In its race to become a Serious Enterprise Business, it's starting to lose some of the whimsy and quirkiness that got it to where it is. - Those acclimated to a data-driven, CS Fundamentals Engineering culture will find things a little lax here; pragmatism is the law of the land and some shortcuts have been taken. - Ratio of junior to senior engineers is higher here than elsewhere, resulting in ample stress for the senior engineers as they try to manage technical debt. For the juniors, the result is fewer opportunities for mentorship and a feeling of floundering without a life vest. - The "no whiteboards" interview policy is great, but sometimes translates to a "no technical challenges" interview depending on the panel, and that can (and has) lowered the bar.
