Pros

** Ability to build everywhere (teams, processes, product, etc.) ** Pervasive values (smart, kind, creative) ** Significant focus on employee experience (much more than most companies) ** Incredible opportunity to join a "hockey stick" company (about to go through hyper growth!)

Cons

** High level of ambiguity and high level of speed. This is not for everyone (i.e. if you are looking for full stability and low amount of ambiguity don't come here :)) ** We are a fast growing company that traditionally has gone lean on headcount investment (which in one end is great as you all will have huge jobs very quickly, but on the other end you are going to be joining a place where we are hiring a lot of roles to cover for existing workload and it's going to take some time to catch up)

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.
