      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity to make a large impact for feature development or performance improvement Opportunity to work with smart/entrepreneur people Good/Free food/drinks and reasonable allowance to eat from local restaurants as well Strong intern program Strong salary,stock,refreshment program Strong product review/eng process for releases Vision: Evan Spiegel/Design team is awesome for product vision and discussing new ideas Strong engineering leadership Work/Life balance is fine. You don't have to work on weekends. It is similar to other large tech companies. Innovative and ambitious culture

      Cons

      Don't have an established campus Office space sucks compare to Google/Microsoft Not much established for review/performance system Too much new grads (but this is changing recently) Leveling system for engineers does not seem right Each new stock vesting schedule same as initial hiring stock Favoritism for closeness to Evan or Directors/VPs etc Not enough conference rooms

      Pros

      -Frequent innovation with quick release cycles -Free food (2x daily), snacks -Good benefits, health care paid for by employer

      Cons

      -AWFUL managers. Many have been there since the IPO and are not fit to lead and manage the teams they are in charge of day to day -Knee jerk reactions to everything -Not competitive in pay, increases at review cycles are pitiful (1-3%) -No work/life balance. They take advantage of their staff with on call schedules and an assumption you'll work 7 days a week.
