Pros
Rapidly growing company means room for employees to grow. The Snapchat SW and Spectacles HW are successful products. Large user base. Advertising model is a value proposition. Seems like the sky is the limit. CEO has been right a lot. Quality of people coming in the door is high. Made some good hires from what I can see. People who know how to ship products and do so profitably. IPO paperwork has been filed. Could be a big payoff. Everyone works hard. It's good if you have something to show for it. Benefits are excellent compared with previous employers.
Cons
There's so much going on it can be hard to focus. No way of knowing how long the free wheeling culture will last. Roles and responsibilities beginning to overlap as more people are brought onboard, creates some confusion. Rapid growth and rate of hiring makes me wonder if company can execute on big plans. Long hours and demanding workload. Work/Life balance tips heavily towards work.
