Talking point: The news comes amid a difficult year for Snap, which saw the departures of several key executives and slowing user growth (though the latter has since improved). Employees have been alleging discrimination for a while now, including a November 2017 email from a former engineer calling its culture “sexist” and “toxic.” For its part, Snap said it’s taken steps to improve since the layoffs, including implementing standardized performance reviews and requiring unconscious bias training for employees.
