Discord

San Francisco, CA

Discord is a voice, video, and text platform built for gaming communities, with 90+ million daily active users and a strong dogfooding culture—employees build Discord on Discord. The company offers flexible work arrangements with competitive compensation, though it concentrates new hiring in the San Francisco Bay Area. Employee reviews highlight smart colleagues and remote flexibility, but consistently flag concerns about management direction and limited promotion paths, issues punctuated by the April 2025 CEO transition from founder Jason Citron to Activision Blizzard veteran Humam Sakhnini.
