Pros

Descending order (biggest pro first): (1) Amazing CEO (Gaurav Dhillon) (2) Pivotal time for the company (best time to be working for SnapLogic, IMO.) (3) Fun environment (4) Very motivated employees (5) Good/competitive compensation (6) Decent transparency

Cons

Descending order (biggest con first): (1) Less stock offered than that from most similar startups hiring for a comparable position. (2) Very top-heavy. Most employees have little voice in the decisions made by "the company." (Even sometimes when they _really_ should be an integral part of the decision making process for a specific issue.) (3) Way too much company politics in general, let alone for a startup. (4) Still "finding its place" in terms of what the target market is / the best use for the product. (5) This is a startup moving at 1000mph which means high stress, big workloads, and high expectations. I put this at #5 since this is true for pretty much every startup.

Pros

Good company culture, startup so they give you a lot of work, get to work directly on codebase

Cons

Smaller company (400 people) if that is something you aren't looking for

Pros

Good place to learn a variety of technologies (not because they use the correctly, but because the integrations require you to morph those technologies into the archaic architecture that SnapLogic uses). If you're not looking to work too hard, you can get away with a lot of slack time and still end up being a top performer somehow.

Cons

I spent many years where promotions and raises were frozen yet my responsibilities increased and it never really panned out. The last straw was the CONTINUAL goal moving where new levels were added seemingly on a whim which seemed to only impact me and my potential promotions (this lead to people technically below me being higher level and title than me multiple times and only got worse). Rebanding of Engineering in particular never happened and it's seemingly because there was never a proper job matrix put together in Engineering (and shared with the employees) If you're remote, you are a second-class citizen at best, ideas and concerns are really only heard from people at HQ in San Mateo, because seemingly Zoom (the chosen voice/video platform) doesn't work with audio for remote employees (I sometimes wondered if text communication on Slack was like a shadow instance where only remote employees could see what other remote employees said). General attentiveness to security, architectural, and process issues are handled very poorly and effectively swept under the rug and left to fester and stew like a rotting corpse.
