Pros

- Compensation is competitive - Fast innovation cycles

Cons

- Stock is at an all time low and anyone who joined in the past four years is not happy (Most have a strike price of $16 pre IPO). - Top/Senior talent is leaving in droves and is not being replenished - Horrible office politics, the closer you get to core product the worse it gets - Benefits/Perks being cut back at astonishingly fast rates - Offices no longer located on the beach - Office morale is at an all time low - Innovation is slowing down and we are on a track to clone Instagram features/design - Arrogant CEO who gets his way even when data says otherwise because he surrounded himself with his close friends

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.
