Pros

- world class customer base - strong sales team - used to have events/company outings - used to have more collaboration - work life balance isn't terrible

Cons

- low compensation - all the layoffs have led to a bunch of folks leaving voluntarily as morale has diminished - very little career growth/promotions internally - product management as a whole is pretty poor with limited technical knowledge and can be pointed at why snyk has suffered in the last few years - support may be the worst seen at a company in terms of both lack of knowledge as well as a poor culture - Cutting many costs- used to have more employee events/benefits - lack of transparency from executive teams. Sudden layoffs for C suite, not entirely sure if replacements are better than predecessors - stagnant product as a whole. Other competitors are catching up and snyk is doing nothing - keep buying companies that don't get integrated/waste of money - leadership doesn't listen to employees

The pay, the people, the benefits

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.
