Pros

I joined Discord with the hopes to build out processes, innovate, and put my skills to work. My technical skills have significantly improved during my time here, and I find the work meaningful and impactful. The company culture is quirky, passionate, and goal-oriented. My growth has been substantial, and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here!

Cons

We have been through a lot of restructures in the recent years. However thats to be expected with this size of a company. I'm excited to see the company's growth in the upcoming years!
