      Pros

      Nice location and good benefits & perks(on the paper). from the policies, I feel leadership team do care a lot about employees.

      Cons

      - the "office buildings" are all beach houses: completely unprofessional. looks great on the paper but working in a beach house is not a good experience. - what's written on the paper is not what's actually being executed. - leadership team changes mind way too often. company culture is bad: I feel I'm living in a lie all the time. management say one thing while meaning completely the opposite. no transparency at all. I think 95+% are committed to the company ONLY because of the RSU equity, and everyone I've talked to have admitted the company culture is speed & lies.

      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.
