Pros

Great people, office, and company culture Always informed on how the company is doing and where it's going (transparent) Collaboration within own department and other departments The product is unique and fun to market The company is definitely growing and becoming more recognizable Take-as-you-go PTO policy Office is in prime location right off of Boylston Street Wednesday catered lunch is great True startup feel and lively office Overall, the pros of SnapApp outweigh the cons. Definitely a lot worse places to work

Cons

Management listens to employees, but often does not execute on ideas or suggestions There is a take-as-you-go PTO policy, but be wary of when you take time off as it can count against you Work can be micromanaged a good majority of the time, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your work style Meetings to set-up meetings which lead to more meetings Work done by employees sometimes goes unappreciated In my role, I received a crash course training on the company, what I was doing, and had to learn on the fly

Pros

-Fun work environment: The people are hands down the best part about SnapApp. The company is made up of great people from all different backgrounds who manage to work their hardest while also keeping work fun (Think: frequent Nerf gun battles). -Rapidly growing Culture/HR focus: The company nearly doubled in size over the past few months. With that, came a huge improvement on the HR/Culture side of things. Exciting new employee engagement initiatives, events, and policies have sprung up in record time. Summer Fridays (Say “Bye” to the office at 3 pm!), employee recognition awards, and New Hire Scavenger Hunts are just a few of the culture-focused initiatives that have evolved over the past month or two. -Opportunities for Growth: If you want added responsibilities or new professional opportunities within your position, you just have to ask for them. Managers are very willing to work with you to help you build the skills and experiences you want for your long-term career.

Cons

- Lack of Cross-Departmental Community: After moving to a larger (albeit beautiful) office, the sense of company-wide inclusiveness has suffered a bit. With departments now physically separated, it is very difficult for employees to get to know/interact with those who are not on their specific team.
