Snap

• All the individual engineers are talented.
• Your lower-level managers are pretty awesome people.
• There's interesting work.
• The hiring bar and diversity seem to be in good shape.
• Amenities and perks are pretty nice.
• Good work-life balance.

Upper management is just stinking awful. You'll never hear from Evan except through maybe five emails in the course of a year.

They're constantly "restructuring" and shifting teams around for no reason, making it seem like there's some weird politics going around. I was involuntarily moved under five teams in a year, each with a different director.

Some big, big, BIG decisions seem to be knee-jerk responses. Very little stuff is data-driven.

No transparency. I got all of my developments on the business side of Snap via TechCrunch, like everyone else.

Honestly, I'm not sure where the future of the company will go. Poor morale when I left.

Venice homeless people hate you.

• Less politicking
• Be transparent with business decisions
• More data-driven decisions, please
• Evan Spiegel should host frequent AMAs
• Don't spend $4 million on a NYE party that doesn't even have enough food for everyone
