Pros

- Competitive pay & benefits - Great work-life balance

Cons

my experience with a team is terrible but the impression I have for the company is very decent. the team I worked at is formed based on an acquisition and I'm the only non-original employee. my teammates' mindset conflict with the rest of the company and it's been miserable for me since week1. basically, Snap cares about you as a human being and this is reflected from many things: e.g. unlimited PTO policy, healthy lunch options, snack bar & kitchen. However the particular team I worked at denies that culture and requested me to work during sickness and bereavement leave. reason being, according to the manager of mine (former CEO of the acquired company) "I lost one of my parent when I was focused on this startup company and I chose my career over that" I was reminded repeatedly about how difficult it is for them to let-go a person in UK due to employment law, hinting me if I don't work during these time I would be let-go since it's much easier to be done in US. I don't believe what I've experience can speak for the company. On the contrary, people I've interacted with outside this team left me great impression. one con about the company: upper management (C-level)'s decision making on where to spend money has consistently been questionable.

Pros

Snap has solid compensation for Software Engineers and good WLB across many teams. Juniors often get more responsibility in a smaller team

Cons

Faster velocities, engineering standards are probably a bit looser due to smaller company size and more junior ownership
