Pros

* mature marketing organization for the age of the business - based centrally in the US. * feels like a great test and learn environment with new ideas taken seriously and executed on. * good compensation (comes at a price!) * mostly on the whole nice people to work with and very intelligent, with the majority happy to support you where your manager cannot.

Cons

* forget everything you know about marketing and re-learn it the Snyk way. Not always a bad thing but with rapid scale, comes gaping crater holes of unknown and chaos so you must be okay with this to survive. * very chaotic and essentially non-existent onboarding into the team means you’re on your own from day one (apart from the standard company onboarding) and you will be expected to perform and deliver results fast. *if you do not have domain knowledge/experience think about if this is right for you - there’s no support during onboarding so you have to navigate new job and learning a complex domain simultaneously and fast. * sink or swim and dog eat dog, you need to find your allies quickly which goes against the “One Team” value. *Don’t show any weakness or need for support - you’ll get shown the back door swiftly. * the Snyk way means you will now live your life via slack. This is fine for most but a steep learning curve for others.

They're a non-public, start-up company, they had layoffs which is always scary.

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
