Pros

Company allowed me to grow and made me feel heard and apreciated.

Cons

I wish the onboarding process was a bit smoother - now it took me half a year to figure out some things I should have known from the get go.

Pros

Discord has hired some of the best and most dedicated engineers, who clearly care deeply about the product they are building. Working at Discord could be a great opportunity for early career engineers to hone their skills and learn from the best. Discord is also very committed to diversity.

Cons

Highly tenured engineers can sometimes be very vocal and make you feel like you have to do what they ask of you.

Pros

Lots of people who care and will do what they can to help you. Work / life balance is encouraged. Good benefits.

Cons

The people who care are usually not in positions of power to influence needed changes and the ones that are, are laid off or have targets put on their backs. People who shouldn't be managers are put into positions of leadership and throw their reports under the bus in favor of their own career growth. Lack of direction, lack of accountability from the top and then everyone else is blamed for lack of success.
