Vantaggi

- Very smart engineers - Free food (for now)

Svantaggi

I was apart of the unexpected mass layoff. Many smart people were let go. So many families were impacted. Yet the CEO took in 638 million his first year. Leadership is the #1 problem at Snap and they have been trying to improve this for years with no change. One would think leadership would be included in this recent layoff, but they were not. Performance reviews, bonuses, and raises are not apart of their culture Everyone is working against unknown goals held for them so leadership can hold the upper hand. Long working hours and expectations are toxic in almost every department. I strongly advise future talent to look past the money and benefits. This company thrives off intimidation. Innovation is lacking because everyone fears for their job. Management is largely inexperienced and dismissive of new ideas. Post-IPO layoffs, FTE to contractor conversions, longtime VPs leaving; all red flags. Don't make the mistake many did. There are other companies out there with a better culture and more rewarding than just offering good pay and perks.

Vantaggi

- Great base comp - Unlimited PTO - Good food at offices

Svantaggi

- Leadership is incompetent. This company will die and when it does, it will be no one's fault other than Evan. - If you disagree with leadership and speak up, you will be punished. All SMC VPs hired each other from past companies. They are all corporate ladder climbers from Meta with no morals. - Being a leader at Snap means leading through fear and regularly throwing tantrums in conference rooms. - The ads business is a joke. No matter how many ex-[insert big tech name] engineers work on the product, you can't monetize an audience of 13 year olds or people who's sole use case for this app is inappropriate. - There is truly nothing redeeming about this business, B2C or B2B. It's all smoke and mirrors. I've never seen the population of monetizable users grow, it's only gone down since I've joined. To offset this we acquire the cheapest users possible to appease investors who see straight through this BS.
