Pros

- Because Snap is relatively small and young, there are MANY opportunities to stretch outside of your normal responsibilities and pick up new ones, expanding your skillset. - Snap REALLY breathes its values; Kind, Smart, Creative. They're highly valued in the hiring process and are even metrics wrapped into performance reviews. - Snap values diversity from the top down and is actively seeking to catalyze diversity, equity, and inclusion across the company, industry, and into the systems beyond - Great benefits

Cons

- Snap is still a relatively young company, so things can more easily fall through the cracks and processes aren't as streamlined. - Change is the norm, you can expect at least a few big changes over the course of your time - Annual salary in recruiting seems to be on the lower end of our tech peers, though this is being evaluated

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.
