Having been with the company for 4 weeks, I have had a wonderful on-boarding experience and the culture that I had clearly felt during the interview has been loud and clear for the past 4 weeks. Everyone has been SO friendly and they literally go out of their way to ensure that I am well equipped with whatever that I need, and they have continuously reached out to me throughout this on-boarding period to ask if I need anything or if any help is required.
Cons
Being based in Singapore, time zone wise is a bit of a challenge since I pretty much need to work based in EMEA and US EST time zones - I've had to change my work-time to accommodate, but I've also gotten used to it and it's not hard to adjust.

Hi - thank you for sharing your feedback on your initial experience, its great to see the Snyk culture continue to manifest as we start building in APJ! We're only at the start of building out our APJ efforts, so very soon we won't have that dependency on EMEA/US timezones anymore - looking forward to it!
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.
