Pros

- tech company perks ie. free food, happy hours, ect... - new laptops - remote work

Cons

- lack of transparency (never interviewed with my lead or person I reported to) - unstable leadership - hourly work with accrued PTO but unlimited sick days (majority of company salary with unlimited PTO) - I was often made to feel "othered" - overtraining to the point of micro-management (no trust in subordinates) About 2 months into training I had a hunch my work was being critiqued more harshly than my equivalent counterpart. I tested this hypothesis by directly copying my coworker's ticket response onto an equivalent ticket submitted under my name. My QA feedback was a paragraph long whereas theirs was "Excellent, great job!" It's difficult to see this issue as a non black and white or unconscious/implicit/inherent bias.

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.
