On the rebound!

Pros

Still the best of the best work here Great offices and location, especially in LA, SF, Seattle, or NYC A product people love to use that genuinely brings joy into lives

Cons

Recent layoffs sting and people are still upset, as you can see on glassdoor External competition narrative in the press gets really old and annoying Lot of junior engineers who feel "trapped" at Snap, especially in LA, is a downer

Pros

- some good people are still left - lots of people who want to move quickly - free food (with very limited hours for breakfast and dinner) - meal card program... oh wait, that got killed for Venice/Santa Monica employees... - fun summer and new years party's - engineering pay competitive with market

Cons

- the amount of backstabbing here is crazy. PMs and engineering leads sniping at each other, etc. - executives are totally lost. Only 2 of them have leadership experience elsewhere. - everyone claims that Evan or Bobby is championing their personal pet projects/agendas - secrecy secrecy secrecy - everyone else outside of engineering not so competitive pay - HR is a joke and they still don't know how to manage performance outside of hiring expensive consultants to tell them what to do - layoffs are shrouded in secrecy even from managers - terrible backloaded vesting for those pre-Jan 15 2018

Don’t come here.

Pros

Pay is competitive and top of market.

Cons

Everything went bad once we went public. Management is out for themselves, nepotism, backbiting, scapegoating, irresponsibility - all apart of the culture. Toxic. Don’t recommend coming here at all. Management SUCKS and will NOT fight for the direct reports. Every man for themselves. Period.
