Potentially a great place to work - but doesn't quite live up to the hype...

Pros

- chance to work on a range of things - around some smart people - good work life balance - interesting domain

Cons

- way too much support work, wasting valuable developer time - lack of clear focus in what the company is even aiming for or what work we should be doing - feels like lots of hurried change and upheaval recently, without any discussion - no real focus on careeradvancement - there will be some major blockers in short to medium term, with serious risk to Snyk if they don't go navigate correctly - disconnect between management communication and the realities of working at Snyk - domain knowledge is inherently complex in Snyk but it's also disseminated poorly to new (and old) joiners. - if you join Snyk, get ready for meetings. And lots of them. And lots of talk. And little work. - potential for you to not do much at Snyk; could end up coasting and falling behind in your personal development - bending over backwards for every large / enterprise customer leads to never saying no, paralysis and slows everything down - too many corporate "yes" people in product management / group management positions

Amazing place with growing pains

Pros

Vibrant culture, great coworkers and teams. Lots of opportunities for meeting new people even remotely. Snyk is growing rapidly but still has the mid-sized company feel. Promotion can happen on an accelerated pace. Solid product that addresses real pain.

Cons

Slack usage. Imagine the worst case scenario and 10x that and you might get an idea. Makes it extra hard to focus and prioritize tasks when tens and hundred of messages are coming at you. Parental care needs an update. Lagging behind comparing to other similar tech companies. No 401k matching.
