Pros

Great mid-sized company to work for, with a highly scaled app and a very fun culture. The impact a good engineer can have on the company's bottom line is astonishing compared to larger firms. The company's rough post IPO years are over now, and things are back on the right track.

Cons

The fast pace of work may not be for everyone. The technology is less mature than at larger companies.

Pros

I have really enjoyed my time at Snap. Ever since my first day, I have felt welcomed and have been given an opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way. The people I work with care about each other and are willing to help out wherever there is a need. The energy of working at an innovative company is invigorating and exciting. Every day welcomes a new challenge and provides opportunities to be creative to solve problems.

Cons

The fast paced and ambiguous nature of working here can be daunting at first, but after experiencing it, I wouldn't want it any other way.
