Pros

Joined Discord late 2022 and I'm very happy with my decision. The team is top-notch with skilled, driven folks who love what they do. Discord empowers engineers to make changes across team boundaries. People are very helpful and assist people in coming up to speed. Founder are very passionate about the product, and we use it everyday as our only communication tool.

Cons

Team is not diverse enough.

Pros

Discord cares - it's palpable inside, and it matches the way discord presents on the outside. There is whimsy, fun, belonging, and building. There are amazing folks, who are approachable, smart, and a delight to work with. As a company, Discord is pretty responsive, and I've seen many changes which were spurred on by employees.

Cons

Discord can be a bit chaotic. The top-level management is mostly about providing the right vibes, leaving many departments and teams to operate autonomously, which can make work feel disjointed and thrash-y.

Pros

The product is interesting and used by many

Cons

100% agree with all the other 1 or 2 star reviews. Here's what I noticed while I worked there: Toxic culture - dog eat dog mindset Poor work-life balance Poor leadership Constant strategy pivots - every 3 to 6 months for the past 2 to3 years No career growth People getting fired with no feedback given prior to the event
