Pros

- Good benefits - Amazing and talented people around you that are super passionate about Discord and most of them are kindhearted nerds - Fast promotion (but just once. You will never step up afterward unless you are your manager's favorite) - First few months were very enjoyable and onboarding was a good experience (even if a little messy)

Cons

- Leadership does not care at all about their employees and only about themselves and getting all their friends hired instead of actual people that care about the product - Management picks their favorites and if you are not one of them, they will not care about your career anymore - They act as if they care about your mental health but once they notice you are struggling in some way, you will get punished - US employees are enjoying a better salary than Canada/European employees + non-US employees are treated like second class workforce - Communication between teams is the worst I have ever seen and nobody knows anything about the stuff outside their team bubble which leads to confusion and extra workload that gets scraped at the end anyways - If you are not part of the IT team, you are also one of the less fortunate people at Discord with less benefits, compensation and acknowledgment from leaders - Their "Discord Principles" only apply to employees below management level and are mostly being used against you instead of actually helping to create a better work environment - You are just a number. You will suffer from mismanagement and not those that are actually responsible for project/problem/strategy.
