Pros

Same perks/benefits/comp you’d get at any tech company

Cons

The People team at Snap is truly the most dysfunctional, toxic place I’ve ever worked in my career. I wouldn’t even tell my worst enemy to work here. The “leadership” team consists almost entirely of incompetent, power hungry HR people who manage recruiting for some unexplained reason. There is zero transparency and you’ll get burned out in a year or two from the never ending work because the team is always short staffed. Whether you get a promo is determined 2x a year by heads of each team within People, who you probably never work with directly, so if you don’t spend 6 months sucking up to someone on the panel you’re never getting promoted. Your career will stall out as long as you stay at Snap. Nowhere is it more clear that “kind” is a BS Snap value than on this team.

Pros

- Great base comp - Unlimited PTO - Good food at offices

Cons

- Leadership is incompetent. This company will die and when it does, it will be no one's fault other than Evan. - If you disagree with leadership and speak up, you will be punished. All SMC VPs hired each other from past companies. They are all corporate ladder climbers from Meta with no morals. - Being a leader at Snap means leading through fear and regularly throwing tantrums in conference rooms. - The ads business is a joke. No matter how many ex-[insert big tech name] engineers work on the product, you can't monetize an audience of 13 year olds or people who's sole use case for this app is inappropriate. - There is truly nothing redeeming about this business, B2C or B2B. It's all smoke and mirrors. I've never seen the population of monetizable users grow, it's only gone down since I've joined. To offset this we acquire the cheapest users possible to appease investors who see straight through this BS.
