Pros

Free food Nice coworkers Work from home Beautiful Office

Cons

Unprofessional management Not even a days notice before laying off over half of the team Strange work environment No way to work yourself up No benefits on contract workers You are treated like you are not important to the team and can be replaced easily Weird working hours (4a-12p, 8p-4a)

The worst place to work

Pros

Snap is hands down the worst company I have ever been a part of in my entire career. There is no support and it’s a total sink or swim type environment. Employees are overly competitive with peers and it’s truly an environment where you need to fend for yourself completely. Although you will get to work with a lot of super smart people, they are mostly entitled, arrogant and egotistical. This type of behavior among employees is unfortunately very common. There’s a HUGE lack of female leadership which is always alarming. It’s truly a men’s club at the executive level where everyone is trying to get in, and will stab anyone in the back to do so. It’s a fear based operation that leaves employees being in a constant state of uncomfortableness and stress. The one real pro of working here is, as i mentioned above, is there are a lot of super smart people here that are visionary for what the future holds in terms of how communication and mobile advertising are evolving.

Cons

Working here is actually like being a part of a terrible cult where you’re expected to give your entire life to working for this operation. Really think twice before joining and especially if you have to relocate to the LA area.

Pros

Amazing benefits that are hard to beat, free lunch, free breakfast 3 days a week, free healthcare

Cons

Snap is known for having bad HR and unqualified leadership. I experienced this first-hand during the year I spent with the company. HR openly speaks about other employees and their performance on the phone in the open-space environment, they can not keep matters that don't involve leadership confidential (even when asked to both verbally and in writing). Additionally almost every person in a leadership position in the company is not experienced enough or qualified to be in that position. As a woman, I found out my male counterparts were making more money than me (I have a master's degree when none of them do). When this matter was brought up to HR it was flat out ignored and instead a promotion was promised and dangled over my head until the working environment became so unjust and hostile that I quit. The culture is also very "bro-y." It is clear that men are valued more in this company than women are.
