Pros

Incompetent hires and/ or lazy low IQ / oldies from goog/msft/amzn managers mean tons to take on and drive - truly unique how much you can learn due to incompetent coworkers They used to pay a ton to get people to relocate The SoCal weather

Cons

Where do we begin? Management - Evan is an immature average designer who got very lucky. This bred a culture of hiring more like him. Design which reports to him holds a lot of power. I've never seen engineering treated so poorly as it is here Work culture - some really lazy rest n vest type people hired. Old rejects from Google/AMZN/MSFT fill the ranks. Or people from no name startups. Politics - thats all thats done,all day everyday. turf wars. fighting for things that they couldnt execute on even if they won Competition - IG is killing snap. Nothing more to say Low quality staff - who would relocate to LA? either the best who are paid outrageously (and have already left cuz they are actually good) or the worst...who have stayed back

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.
