Pros

- Some of the people I work with are smart and fun - Casual and relaxed culture - Catered and free meals/pantry

Cons

- No clear direction. Leadership chasing ideas and dreams without substance. - CEO is often delusional and full of himself. - Inexperienced executive team. Not all but most don't know what they are doing. - It's one of many chat apps. Nothing special. It's difficult to get excited about it.
