Pros

Good pay. Smart, collaborative coworkers.

Cons

Constant top-down revenue pressure, including disincentives, which impacts culture across teams. Due to layoffs and attrition, there is essentially no layers between lower and upper management. This has caused a widespread lack of transparency regarding org decisions, hasty and poorly-planned product launches, and minimal decision-power allowed to lower management & ICs. Unreasonable hours and expectations from managers (even for Tech), who neither protect their reports' time nor their own. Unclear and under-prepared performance review process. Consistently receding benefits, including office conveniences, team perks, and travel budgets. Layoffs across product, engineering, analyst, and other key XFN teams left gaps that can only be filled by picking up the workload or dropping initiatives altogether. Enjoyment comes only when work-life balance is favorable, which is not often.

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.
