Toxic leadership and vanity over Progress - Senior Product Designer Discord Employee Review

- Design leadership is backbitey and toxic - they trash talk other teams and specific ICs regularly. - there’s no culture of feedback except negative feedback and most of it is unfounded or misguided - constant focus on “juice” and superficial vanity projects and metrics sucked the life out of the app and added a lot of cruft. - senior directors gaslight designers form other teams into quitting or feeling like they should quit. - Directors will align on you to have a bad review and then won’t allow you to transfer teams because your review was bad.
