Pros

If you make it to a year the equity is decent.

Cons

They claim that they’re all about belonging but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The most hypocritical and backstabbing place I’ve worked. 100% do not recommend.

Our entire leadership team genuinely cares about making sure Discord is a fantastic place to work.

Pros

Good engineering culture Smart compassionate people to work with

Cons

Still valuing themselves as last funding round. Hence compensation is basically base. No IPO chance in 3 years Strategy is basically get more gamers to stream.
