Pros
  • High impact work used by millions of users
  • Free food
  • Four days RTO
  • High pay for LA
Cons
  • Stock and equity keep on going down, which makes the actual TC less than it appears.
  • There are quarterly performance reviews.
  • It is a very fast-paced environment.
  • There is no room for mistakes.
  • Morale seems low due to the app being irrelevant with competition from Instagram and TikTok.
  • It lacks stability.
Advice to Management

Stop wasting time and resources on useless features.
