Pros

Impactful and interesting work and projects Good learning and growth opportunities Free Lunch

Cons

Quarterly performance reviews means you get reviewed 4 times a year instead of 2 times a year compared to other FAANG-like companies Very short time to ramp up and show improvements due to small window for performance reviews Snap stocks keep on falling and has not recovered since 2021 which affects total compensation No real future for the company with Instagram and TikTok taking over social media Pointless RTO 4 days a week
