Pros

Visionary CEO. Not following/copying others but blazing a new trail. Fast-moving, super creative culture. Bringing new technology to the world, and changing the way the world communicates. Kind people. Getting to try new ways of doing things. Supportive peers. Autonomy from management. Cool offices. Free food (on-site at the cafeterias or via food card at local restaurants), great perks (dog walking, surrogacy, and egg-freezing) and free health benefits for my family.

Cons

Fast-moving culture--big dreams and huge aspirations. Working on stuff that's never been done before means you have to create your own path. If you're not a smart, kind & humble person, don't bother applying. Jerks get let go within their first month.

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.
