Pros

Great Team: Snyk's team is made up of really capable people who deeply care about both each other and Snyk's users, want to make a difference individually and as a company, and are open and (respectfully) direct. The result is a place you really enjoy working at, alongside growing personally. Strong Mission: Snyk aims to fix open source security, an existential need for future software development, and does so both through community & foundation work and by building enterprise products Great Business: The right product in a great market (a dev focused solution for using open source securely), backed by great investors (Accel & GV). Great users: hundreds of thousands of online users, plus amazing enterprise customers ranging from the likes of Netflix, Facebook and New Relic to banks and insurance companies.

Cons

Snyk is a fast pace environment, and the team is driven and passionate about our mission. We care deeply about work/life balance, but the time you're in the office is very engaged.

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.
