      Beware of leadership's white boys club

      Pros

      Innovative design, everybody is copying them, above market compensation used as a retention tool

      Cons

      The culture is toxic. There's almost no leadership diversity (my mgmt chain was 5 layers of white males), HR was hostile, and too many impactful decisions were made opaquely with unknown justification which eroded trust in the company.

      Pros

      Benefits, free food, maternity/ paternity leaves

      Cons

      Very inexperienced/ political management, everyone is out for their own. The churn of managers/ directors/ leaders is unreal! Half the company works like crazy, the others in rest and vest mode!

      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
