Pros

- Great pay and amazing benefits that are definitely above market average - Fun and popular product.

Cons

Snap allows certain toxic middle managers to exploit their teams, cultivate a gossip culture that pits people against each other, and even tolerate psychological and verbal abuse. When these issues are raised, Snap's preferred solution is to lay off those who bring them up, through a system of quarterly layoffs. It's ironic that one of Snap's values is kindness. Chaos reigns as the norm, with unstable leadership and senior management appearing directionless. The company's universal remedy? Endless rounds of layoffs.

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.
