Pros

Good product roadmap, positive future as a product. Slack is for sure the way of the future. Goodbye email.

Cons

Very homogeneous and minorities do not thrive in this environment. The HR team has no support nothing really set up to help underrepresented minorities be successful in this environment. No education around cultural or communication styles and no resources on biases or true bias trainings except for the usual "unconscious bias" jargon. POCs will very quickly become isolated and it's up to them to make others around them feel comfortable or else they will be sacrificed. I have watched this happen to POCs. Especially Black Women.
