Pros

-Frequent innovation with quick release cycles -Free food (2x daily), snacks -Good benefits, health care paid for by employer

Cons

-AWFUL managers. Many have been there since the IPO and are not fit to lead and manage the teams they are in charge of day to day -Knee jerk reactions to everything -Not competitive in pay, increases at review cycles are pitiful (1-3%) -No work/life balance. They take advantage of their staff with on call schedules and an assumption you'll work 7 days a week.

Pros

- Great base comp - Unlimited PTO - Good food at offices

Cons

- Leadership is incompetent. This company will die and when it does, it will be no one's fault other than Evan. - If you disagree with leadership and speak up, you will be punished. All SMC VPs hired each other from past companies. They are all corporate ladder climbers from Meta with no morals. - Being a leader at Snap means leading through fear and regularly throwing tantrums in conference rooms. - The ads business is a joke. No matter how many ex-[insert big tech name] engineers work on the product, you can't monetize an audience of 13 year olds or people who's sole use case for this app is inappropriate. - There is truly nothing redeeming about this business, B2C or B2B. It's all smoke and mirrors. I've never seen the population of monetizable users grow, it's only gone down since I've joined. To offset this we acquire the cheapest users possible to appease investors who see straight through this BS.
