Pros

Majority of IC employees are humble, smart and tapped into online culture. Work from home policy is flexible, and if you really need help, your IC coworkers will stand by you and have your back.

Cons

The marketing department imported a lot of MBAs and ex-Meta brand directors since mid-2022, and their jobs seem to be: DDoS attack ICs with micromanagey demands, pile sudden landslides of work on people due to poor planning, and hiring their friend's agencies to do unusably shoddy work and write redundant market research that’s already been done before. The new folks don’t know internet culture or Gen Z or even what seems uncringey to the average young person, but they’re often delivering mini TED Talks about their insights in these arenas to literal Gen Z coworkers, longtime online community experts, and trendsetters. Don’t get me wrong, some of these new folks are nice and trying their best, but there are a few of these marketing directors who just see OG Discorders as competition that they must sabotage so that their own (very out of touch cheugy) ideas can shine through. They've made life in Marketing so miserable, and so Game of Thrones-level political, that no one who does tangible work can thrive.

Hi there 👋 Thanks for taking the time to share your experience on our marketing team. We appreciate the honest feedback, even if it's not quite so easy to hear sometimes. We're concerned that you’ve expressed feeling some micromanagement from leaders on your team. Discord encourages autonomy and freedom for our employees to have big ideas, try new things, and do their best work. What you’ve shared isn’t in line with these values. We generally receive positive feedback regarding our marketing team – however, we’re not perfect and we know there are always areas for us to grow into! All feedback is important to us, and we've already taken steps to see how we can continue to improve our leadership approach in this area. If you’d like, don't forget you can also reach out to your People Partner or take advantage of other anonymous feedback sources (such as our Pulse Survey) to share more specific feedback about your experience. These direct channels can help make sure your feedback is heard and implemented in a meaningful way. Thank you, friend ❣️
