Pros

The environment fosters a great deal of collaboration. Direct management listens to ideas and often takes them onboard. Very competent colleagues and awesome technical support team. Worklife balance is highly encouraged. Benefits like wellness and education budget is great. Has corporate health insurance. If you’re well established in your career, Snyk is a great place to work for. But if you’re starting out your career in sales, probably should look somewhere else.

Cons

KPI does not align with overall sales objective and oftentimes lead to mismatched priorities between SDR and AE. Senior management is focused on business outcome but lacks attention to processes. Career progression is limited due to organisational structure (prioritises experience versus merit) which creates a bottleneck effect for entry level sales people. Everyone’s waiting in line for a promotion but unless someone moves up or moves out, no one’s going anywhere. The best they’ll do is a soft promotion with title change and some more money to keep you pre-occupied until you ask for another promotion. Inadequate support in coaching and support to ensure career progression and decrease turnover rate. Lack of resource for entry level employees to move up the chain. Seems to be a lot of promises and vision of growth but lacks accountability to follow through.

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.
