Pros

Companies are not your friends, but Discord has done ok by us (with the exception of the hiring boom of the pandemic + layoffs early 2024). I appreciate the ability to work remotely, and the flexibility and trust I am given to do my job well. Discord also has pretty high internal transparency, including the good and the bad -- sometimes it can look like leadership is still figuring stuff out, but I'd rather know where we stand! And right now we are on a clear path business-wise and leadership is leading with confidence. Culture-wise, I love that my coworkers all care so much about the product we're building, and I can engage with them directly on any problems that arise. Even working remotely, everyone feels like a human.

Cons

Using Discord at work instead of email + slack makes internal communication a bit messy. It's hard to find information sometimes.

Pros

The people do really care about the experience and the users, generally nice and supportive coworkers.

Cons

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.
