Pros

I've been here since the beginning of the year and I couldn't be happier. I love the transparency from leadership and the fun and open culture. We're just over 5 years old and going through hyper-growth but everyone still has a voice and an opinion to contribute to our success. Discord really puts people first and it shows. I'm excited for the future of Discord, we're just getting started :).

Cons

Hiring is tough we really look for the total package
