Pros

I think people throughout the company mean well, they just don’t know how to take charge, stick to a plan and execute. It’s a fine place to work if you want a 8:30 - 4 (East Coast) job, salaries are pretty high.

Cons

Snyk seems to do everything slightly differently and less efficiently than all other tech companies I’ve worked at. Their processes for fairly routine tasks like updating the website or requesting new design assets are unnecessarily complicated, it was actually laughable. It’s standard to wait 3 weeks for something, and once you get it there are multiple errors. I would not call them nimble. The other major con is the extremely Bro culture that leadership encourages and fosters. The quarterly sales award meetings will make you cringe - fancy watches are handed out and there is so much talk about which sales bros got wasted at Happy Hour last week.

Thank you for sharing your experience working at Snyk, we truly value employee feedback and take it seriously. While it can be frustrating to wait for design assets, and even more frustrating if there are errors, we encourage a culture of feedback and ask our employees to speak up on areas that could be improved. We know there is always more that we can do and your feedback helps show us that, thank you - Erin Casey, Manager, Talent Attraction Programs

Pros

The pay, the people, the benefits

Cons

They're a non-public, start-up company, they had layoffs which is always scary.

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.
