      Pros

      Good location and food; good company vision. Location: Venice beach is a lively tourist location with good weather and quirky locals. Food: You get 3 meals per week at local restaurants, most of which are pretty good. Use them if you don't like what's in the cafeterias. Vision: Evan Spiegel is a gifted product designer and I enjoy making his products.

      Cons

      The company is not as established as larger companies like FB or Google, so we don't have every perk imaginable yet, and a lot of internal tools are yet to be built. Internal hackathons are few and far-between.

      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.
