Pros

There are great people to work with. The coffee was great. There are interesting problems to solve.

Cons

Leadership is running without a head. There are more ads and less reason to have them.

Advice to Management

The CEO has to figure out a way to get rid of the negative stigma that initially made them great. Snapchat is or was known as the app for sexting, hookups, and doing frowned-upon fun stuff that you could post and have it disappear after twenty-four hours. Now those people grew up, and they associate it with that. They don't want their kids on it. They don't want to see their partner on it. The app is insanely bloated.
