Pros

The company offers free lunch and coffee, and the pay is competitive. The office has a vibrant, social network-inspired atmosphere. The mid-level staff are diligent and friendly, with a good mix of younger and older employees.

Cons

I was warned before joining Snap that the company treats its staff poorly, but I accepted an offer anyway. I should have listened to them. Management is disorganized and lacks clear direction. There's no proper onboarding process, and while there are plenty of spreadsheets, overall, the organization is organized. The company's security measures are overly restrictive. Management often sends Slack messages at all hours, disrupting work-life balance. Additionally, there is a strong sense of nepotism and backdoor deals, with many employees and vendors appearing to be friends of existing staff.

Pros

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

Cons

- 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.
