The culture is collaborative, inclusive, and growth-oriented, fostering innovation and a strong sense of community.

Fun people, fun perks, fun events.

The willingness of people to learn and grow and to participate in development. I like that the company is always striving to do better and to be better especially in equity and inclusion

when this forum shuts up

Success is the Best revenge

Real commitment to Inclusion, Diversity and Purpose initiatives. Great benefits and leaders that care about people and take feedback serioualy.

Review from HR Dept

When i go to meeting, i can see a diverse range of people.

The shared mission and joy. Pride in being Discord.

there isnt really much positive

I feel that the company really cares about the well being and happiness of the employees. I like that when I have raised concerns in the past they have been directly addressed and change has often followed them.

Review from Engineering Dept

Mental health is a real, authentic priority at Discord. Peers support each other when they're going through a rough time--I even made some friends by reaching out for help and getting it from people I'd never even met before!

We are currently work from home. However, the company has been very supportive to improve our working environment.

Review from Marketing Dept

The best part of the culture is the trust everyone has in each other as individuals to do a good job.

Review from Engineering Dept

We have transitioned to remote work, but remain in contact throughout the day over Discord. There's plenty of help when you get stuck and time to collaborate and have fun. Discord still surprises us with fun treats at home, great equipment, and funds to outfit our home offices.

Review from Engineering Dept

Everybody at the company both wants to accomplish amazing things and support each other doing amazing things. Unlike other companies where the competitiveness between employees is almost encouraged, Discord encourages true collaboration and accomplishments are acknowledged at the team level.

Review from Engineering Dept

Everyone tries their best to be helpful, supportive, and inclusive. From what I've seen this runs through all levels.

Review from Engineering Dept

Real people, able to be honestly themselves

Review from Engineering Dept

The people I work with are all absolutely incredible. I am very thankful to be a member of great teams. I also love how everyone is encouraged to be themselves.

There’s a real focus and care on maintaining a positive culture. We do regular surveys and even during WFH have been finding ways to interact

I would argue its the people here. Everyone is nothing short of incredible. We work hard but we also make sure to include time to have team events and get to know each other. Everyone kind of just clicks, everyone at Discord is someone I would invite over to my place to hangout on the weekend.

Review from Customer Support Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

There are a lot of things right and wrong with Discord, but the main thing that probably needs to change is the general attitude towards different opinions.

Review from Engineering Dept

A better HR to manage the negative culture. Higher-ups don't seem to care.
