Pros

Snap truly upholds their values of being Kind, Smart, Creative. Well compensated, great benefits. The culture is truly unbeatable. First company I’ve worked at where I feel supported by my team.

Cons

The days are long during the busy time every month. Sometimes it’s unclear what the companies rationale for making decisions is and the avoidance of committing to a clear policy for remote work is frustrating. Lastly, promotion opportunities seem hard to come by due to the size of the company still being fairly small compared to other tech companies.
