Pros

- Learned a lot about the industry - Fast-growing company - Great conditions - health care and options

Cons

- Disrespectful management - treated and still are treating employees in a very disrespectful manner. The EMEA manager literally lies to his team. - Unequal salaries between men and women. Cancelled the female opinions on the sales team, both NA directors (and VP) and EMEA. - No work-life balance. - I have friends that still work at Snyk, but want to get out of there because the bad treatment they are getting. The main reson they are staying is because Snyk is about to go public. This is important to be said when you consider working there. They show a pink picture, but the reality is that half of the company left it, 2 out of 3 founders left the company and many veteran employees as well because of how the management treats employees like trash. They fired over 10% of employees during COVID, and putting more pressure on those who stayed, with no mental support.

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.
