Snap reviews

The Snap culture & work environment truly brings out the worst in people. During my time at Snap, I experienced new people joining my team, as well as other orgs across the company. I would say their first 4-6 weeks are driven by adrenaline and whatever false allure they were brainwashed with during orientation. After that adorable period passed for many (and myself), I witnessed the true demise of a human being. Those fresh, excited, confident, motivated, passionate employees that first started completely evolve into over-worked, underpaid, exhausted employees. It was shocking to see such a lack of empowerment and enablement at this company. And I blame this all on management, for preaching a "kind, creative, and smart" culture but literally embodying the exact opposite. And in terms of your manager being able to invest in your growth and performance - this will not happen, because he/she 1) should probably not even be in a manager position and/or has no capacity/time to invest in your growth. That is not, and will not ever be a priority. The top-down culture at Snap is truly toxic. If you have a voice, opinion, suggestion, recommendation - good luck finding an environment to actually be heard. This company does not really encourage true genuine feedback.

-Absolutely toxic culture...constant fear of layoffs, Evan (CEO) suddenly pulling plug on a project -Soulless and heartless management -Company is willing to spend tens of millions a year on events, parties, millions of dollars of security for Evan, private jets for execs, Evan takes the biggest payout in the history of the corporate world...but then we trim certain snacks because they’re slightly too expensive and layoff hundreds of employees (many of which could’ve found a home on a different team) in a cost cutting exercise -We’re absolutely losing the war against our competitors and it was tough to watch it happen -Can’t trust anyone
