Great people and fun problem space, lackluster leadership and management - Product Designer Discord Employee Review

Company wants to squeeze out every ounce of productivity and creativity for as cheaply as possible, leading to lots of burnout. Decisions and directions are made in secret and then trickle down a few layers to teams. Pay is low compared to other companies and paper money not going to be real any time soon, no clear path to IPO and super over valued. Acquisition to Microsoft looking like a huge miss and would have been life changing for the rank and file employees. People stay because they love the product and hope to make it better.
