Pros

Compensation is on par with similar tech companies.

Cons

Slow forward progress with outdated technology and processes makes it hard to stay positive. It feels like a career dead end unless you have been with the company for a long time. I mostly agree with the reviews describing bullying and hostility in leadership.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and bringing these concerns to light. At Discord, the wellbeing of our employees always comes first and we're sorry to hear that finding a good work/life balance has been difficult. We never want our employees to push to the point of burnout, and are always exploring company-wide solutions to help alleviate this. We encourage you to take advantage of mental health days that are covered under our flexible sick leave policy, participate in Heads-Down Thursdays, and utilize our benefits like Modern Health (16 sessions of therapy and coaching support). We’d also encourage you to have a discussion with your manager if you have concerns about your workload, and they can help rearrange priorities to help our teammates navigate burnout. Additionally, we support our managers in helping guide career paths that are right for each individual employee and recognize that career clarity is extremely important as our company grows. Bullying or hostility of any kind is not the type of behavior we condone at Discord, has NEVER been acceptable, and is certainly not in line with our company principles. Your feedback is taken very seriously and has been brought to the attention of the appropriate teams internally. If you are comfortable, we strongly recommend reaching out to your manager, People Partner or a trusted leader so we can address your concerns in a meaningful way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us – your feedback makes us better.

Pros

I'm pretty fresh to the company, but my impression so far is quite good! There is a clear value placed on employee experience. - The interview process was friendly, communicative, and super flexible to my schedule - The offer was generous and my decision wasn't at all rushed - I had a lot of control over my start date and was able to take a week of pre-planned vacation after - The benefits are great and continually expanding - Work/life balance is surprisingly good for a young company - Company culture is playful, collaborative, transparent, non-bureaucratic - Everyone I've met so far has been friendly and helpful - Lots of learning opportunity and support (time, $$, tools)

Cons

The environment is fast-paced and constantly changing, which has made onboarding feel extra overwhelming. This was exacerbated by starting during an annual hackathon (which TBF was also very exciting).

Pros

Benefits, I feel like my manager and team care about my well being, and pay is great. I've worked in a similar role for over 10 years and I have never been paid anywhere close to what I'm making now. My manager is available within reason and my team is supportive.

Cons

There can be pressure to take on more projects or to find ownership in things that maybe aren't for you to worry about. People don't talk down to you if you don't do these things, but everyone wants to stand out and it can be complicated to do so.
