Pros

This is a review for the Berlin's office of Snap. It was formerly known as Fit Analytics as the company got acquired by Snap in 2021. - strong core product, Fit Finder - nice colleagues, you can learn a lot - benefits, diversity and inclusion efforts

Cons

Since the acquisition by Snap, it has been a downhill ride. All the key decisions have been taken by the US executives, managers in Berlin are pupeteers. Since the poor business metrics and the following layoffs, people are leaving the sinking ship left and right. - huge issues with the consistency and vision, e.g. it took them a couple of years to come up with a remote working policy, only for this to be reverted as they mandate a come back to the office which was heavily opposed by the employees - awful standards in the office, smelly toilets, dirty surfaces - toxic work environment, backstabbing and brown nosing is encouraged by the local management - adding more layers of mid-management with no clear responsibilities - the automation work is done only to make people redundant - long working hours and taking more ownership are encouraged with no extra pay nor recognition

Pros

- Great base comp - Unlimited PTO - Good food at offices

Cons

- Leadership is incompetent. This company will die and when it does, it will be no one's fault other than Evan. - If you disagree with leadership and speak up, you will be punished. All SMC VPs hired each other from past companies. They are all corporate ladder climbers from Meta with no morals. - Being a leader at Snap means leading through fear and regularly throwing tantrums in conference rooms. - The ads business is a joke. No matter how many ex-[insert big tech name] engineers work on the product, you can't monetize an audience of 13 year olds or people who's sole use case for this app is inappropriate. - There is truly nothing redeeming about this business, B2C or B2B. It's all smoke and mirrors. I've never seen the population of monetizable users grow, it's only gone down since I've joined. To offset this we acquire the cheapest users possible to appease investors who see straight through this BS.
