Pros

Comp and benefits are above market. With the stock price more than doubling this year, there are a lot of people who are staying put because of the comp. The company is also taking a lot of strides to improve diversity. Their head of diversity is an amazing, charismatic leader, and is genuinely taking steps to improve diversity in tech, but there's a long way to go.

Cons

Despite the push for diversity at the company level, there are still managers who are biased, consciously or unconsciously. Until the company roots out these bad managers, the micro-aggression exhibited by these individuals will continue to fester in an environment where diversity is hit or miss, and the people of color will continue to suffer in silence or leave.

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.
