Pros

London office is great, good food, coffee from barista, good snacks, gym is ok, shower room is pretty awesome

Cons

Incompetent leaders Irrational decision from leaders - getting rid of the whole department is a huge mistake as they are revenue genertating department No empathy towards employees Huge communication costs due to time zone issue since most of engs are based on US and they dont care whether we are in London or not Leaders don't seem to care about growing engs in London Product is shrinking

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.
