      Grim conditions under new marketing directors

      Marketer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Majority of IC employees are humble, smart and tapped into online culture. Work from home policy is flexible, and if you really need help, your IC coworkers will stand by you and have your back.

      Cons

      The marketing department imported a lot of MBAs and ex-Meta brand directors since mid-2022, and their jobs seem to be: DDoS attack ICs with micromanagey demands, pile sudden landslides of work on people due to poor planning, and hiring their friend's agencies to do unusably shoddy work and write redundant market research that’s already been done before. The new folks don’t know internet culture or Gen Z or even what seems uncringey to the average young person, but they’re often delivering mini TED Talks about their insights in these arenas to literal Gen Z coworkers, longtime online community experts, and trendsetters. Don’t get me wrong, some of these new folks are nice and trying their best, but there are a few of these marketing directors who just see OG Discorders as competition that they must sabotage so that their own (very out of touch cheugy) ideas can shine through. They've made life in Marketing so miserable, and so Game of Thrones-level political, that no one who does tangible work can thrive.

      Hi there 👋 Thanks for taking the time to share your experience on our marketing team. We appreciate the honest feedback, even if it's not quite so easy to hear sometimes. We're concerned that you’ve expressed feeling some micromanagement from leaders on your team. Discord encourages autonomy and freedom for our employees to have big ideas, try new things, and do their best work. What you’ve shared isn’t in line with these values. We generally receive positive feedback regarding our marketing team – however, we’re not perfect and we know there are always areas for us to grow into! All feedback is important to us, and we've already taken steps to see how we can continue to improve our leadership approach in this area. If you’d like, don't forget you can also reach out to your People Partner or take advantage of other anonymous feedback sources (such as our Pulse Survey) to share more specific feedback about your experience. These direct channels can help make sure your feedback is heard and implemented in a meaningful way. Thank you, friend ❣️

      Unhealthy Environment

      Senior technical recruiter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive pay and benefits. Cool brand that is easy to sell. Neither of those though offset the cons we have to go through. Discord is lucky that the tech market is suffering so much right now. Once the job market gets healthier, the recruiting org won't be trapped anymore.

      Cons

      - Dysfunctional and incompetent leadership - "What have you done for my lately" culture - Alienation and bullying

      Hi there -- First and foremost, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Your feedback makes us better each and every day. What you've shared regarding alienation and bullying is deeply concerning, and we want to make it clear that this is not the type of behavior we condone within Discord or on our platform. The entire leadership team cares greatly about making sure Discord is a fantastic place to work. We know there have been challenges as Discord grows, but we genuinely hope you will give us the opportunity to work together to address them. We’d like to get a better understanding of the specific issues you mentioned, and strongly encourage you to reach out to your manager, People Partner or a trusted leader so we can address this in a meaningful way. In the meantime, we highly value your thoughts and are taking your feedback into consideration. Thank you again for sharing with us.
