Pros

- The overwhelming majority of people not in management are very competent

Cons

- Most competent/good talent leave within two years of joining Snap, with many leaving before their first year. - Unable to compete with salary when compared to Twitter, Google, FB, Amazon and Pinterest. - Management are all trying to make their way up, so there is tons of politicking involved as well as nepotism. - Canadian Management team is a major issue. They've stopped coming into the office for over two weeks now. With over 80% of the sales team leaving to direct competitors in the past 8 months, they don't even show up to the office anymore. - The person who manages the Canadian leadership team is tired of dealing with issues in the Canadian office, so is hoping that 100% of the sales team turns over, so less work can be done. - I imagine this is what working in the current White House feels like.

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.
