Pros
There are many knowledgeable people and there are always new things to learn. The company is expanding in many verticals product-wise and this opens a plethora of interesting challenges to tackle. All managers I've had so far have been very empathic and in general good human beings. They care for your growth and for your mental health. The company has many policies regarding wellness and mental health which is something I appreciate and am very thankful for. It's also very focused on inclusion for most ethnicities. Everyone's open to hearing what you have to say and most issues that spur from hyper-growth have been tackled thoughtfully by talking. It's always possible to rotate teams and find new challenges. All-hands and small-hands events are huge social events that bring people together. It's an amazing experience with lots of professional and personal growth.
Cons
Let me start by pointing out that I'm very happy in my day-to-day life in the company and strongly think that Snyk is a great place to work. With that said and done: All the executives are either born in the US or based in the US. Engineering and most of the product department is in Europe/Israel. This creates a disconnection for most policies. Although the company makes an effort to be involved in inclusion and diversity, it rarely takes into account local ethnicities, e.g: Israeli Arabs. As a consequence of rapid growth, there's been a big increase in bureaucracy and policy, which results in many unnecessary meetings that can be sometimes frustrating and induce burnout. This comes from my experience in the engineering department. I can't speak for other departments. Ill-defined definitions for engineering roles and promotions. New people arrive (see referrals above) with these titles, yet being promoted internally can easily become a pitfall since no one knows well enough what is expected from these roles and it becomes a managerial gut feeling. Ever since Engineering has grown so much, I sometimes feel that teams try to shrug off ownership or delegate it to a different team instead of working together to fix issues. I think that this could potentially mean that some teams are currently understaffed.
