Pros

Discord focuses on building community. Remote work is amazing.

Cons

However, their operations within different departments started to struggle due to many org shifts. Unfortunately, there are some leaders that decided to be dishonest when they dropped the ball and blame employees

Pros

- Enthusiastic User Base - Lots of interesting technical challenges - Interesting tech to work with (Elixir, Rust, etc)

Cons

- Lots of product churn - Toxic Positivity - Middle management has high variability in quality. - Workloads are not fair, some teams are over staffed, some under staffed. Oncall and Interview duties are not fairly distributed.

Pros

The people really are fantastic! Smart and deeply caring, almost universally. This is a product-first org who cares deeply about the customer and has a phenomenal culture built to mirror the customer experience, so you know its embedded deep. Their strategy also feels very clear (and sensibly aligned with a deep understanding of their customers) which is all I really want as an employee.

Cons

Going through the growing pains of any private tech company at this stage/size: may struggle to prioritize, analysis paralysis, finding their balance of humanity-to-efficency as they scale, etc. Nothing at all glaring if you know and like this kind of environment.
