Pros

One of my favorite things about working at Snapchat is seeing people use the application. I can't remember the last time I was out and didn't see a random person on the street using our application. It's incredibly rewarding to see people use and love the application that you helped create. Also, being a part of a company that is growing quickly also accelerates your learning as you get to see and help to solve the problems that companies face at each stage of growth.

Cons

The biggest con is the stress of the work. A lot is expected of you, and a lot of responsibility is thrust upon you.

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.
