This company is incredibly unstable

Pros

1. Great HR team - They hire the right people and there is a lot of amazing people that work here. 2. Every single person I interacted with during my time at Snyk was phenomenal at their job and outside of work. They're good people who will help out if you have questions and huddle to figure things out together. 3. Cool office 4. Decent pay, but you really risk getting laid off as they seem to lay off the newest employees first 5. Lunch provided for those in-office once a week. 6. Lots of ways to network and meet coworkers

Cons

1. History of layoffs - this was a red flag for me when I was joining the team, but I thought surely they wouldn't do another round of layoffs after 4. I think it just gives a bad vibe to everyone who remains and leaves. 2. Leadership prioritizes acquisitions over people. After their recent layoffs in June they announced they had acquired another company which makes you wonder if that is why they laid so many people off again. 3. They don't seem to be good at managing money - look into it. 4. Constantly changing things when it comes to offerings and GTM strategies. 5. Lack of customer support

Pros

- The people (minus management) - Decent comp

Cons

Snyk continues to treat long time employees extremely poorly. After their latest round of layoffs (there have been 4 rounds in the last 3 years) high performers were laid off after the CEO continues to preach there is runway in the bank, and announced an acquisition the day after layoffs. Folks are worked to burnout, and promotions are based on favoritism. Sad to see the executive team turn what was once a great place to work so sour.
