      RUN AWAY! PLACE IS A JOKE!!

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If I could give zero stars I would. If you like drinking the kool aid and not having a voice, this place is for you. If you want to work in a professional environment where people show respect, this place is not for you.

      Cons

      - Micromanagers - Slack usage from hell - Be prepared to suck up at every turn or be gone - Mirage that you will make a lot of money if they IPO. Only people making the money will be the executives. - Customer retention falling off a cliff. Selling junk products with perception they are world class. - The list goes on and on. This place is awful. Run away.

      Slack Shouldn’t Replace Human Interaction

      Talent acquisition
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice swag after being hired. Free food in kitchens if you could afford to park in building. All offices very generic, regardless of location. Stale, uninviting.

      Cons

      Lack of leadership. I had at least 4 Managers in less than a year. Wasn’t sure who I reported to on any given Monday. Very secretive environment. People were replaced all the time. Recruiting not a fun job because you knew when you were simply replacing a replacement’s replacement. It’s awful to try and sell the virtues of a company and culture when you knew it wasn’t true. They pay well because they have to. Definition of golden handcuffs.

      Very talented people at this company, but poor leadership and lack of direction

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some of the most intelligent, passionate and talented people I've ever met work at Snyk (or have worked here). They have fundamentally created a category with developer first security that no one else in the market can really compete with in terms of developer adoption. The SEs, TSMs, and platform specialists that I've had the opportunity to work with are top notch and the SE leadership really goes out of their way to support their teams. Overall, very impressive technical talent at this company.

      Cons

      Like most companies trying to compete across several domains, Snyk doesn't have nearly enough product managers and engineering staff to deliver on it's product vision and strategy. They are lacking many key features competitors have and have failed to deliver key product deliverables on time, which has caused customer headaches and churn. Additionally, the support team does a poor job at handling support cases, which makes it difficult to keep happy customers. Finally, there really seems to be a disconnect between upper management/finance/HR and the middle management teams below that are actually managing teams on the ground. This is evident because several rounds of layoffs have occurred since July 2022, where top talent was let go without any discussion to allow them to stay or possibly transition into another role. This isn't a sound strategy to support enterprise customers if you remove your most seasoned employees that deliver the experience and skills you need in order to successfully penetrate the enterprise market.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave us a detailed review of your experience. I am pleased that you felt you were able to work with some of the most talented and passionate individuals while at Snyk. However, I’m sorry to hear that there were difficulties in meeting product deliverables and that you felt there was a disconnect between teams. We partner across all areas of the organization to ensure alignment across teams, and the impacts that we have gone through over time were decisions that were not made lightly and without sound judgment. I appreciate your input into areas where we can improve. - Sandy Mott, VP Talent Business Partnering
