Pros

The location is on the Venice Beach. The rent is low compared with the companies in the Silicon Valley. There are a few good software engineers and good managers from the Valley.

Cons

Some groups of managers and directors are biased towards their hires from their previous companies. The toxic culture and the horrible vesting schedule make it a bad place to grow your career. The HR department. There is no mechanism to transfer to a different group if you are working for a bullying boss (which is not rare at Snap).
