Pros

- Above average compensation - Decent work-life balance - Central location - Well-connected CEO - Intelligent engineers

Cons

Wasting funding on marketing when it can be spent on refining the product is not a good sign for the future of the company. Marketing jumps on the bandwagon of whatever the trend of the day is...one day it's social, then internet of things, then Big Data, and confuses the heck out of everyone including our poor sales team who end up frustrated. Using big company politics to get concessions from the CEO and stoking his ego is not the way to make a difference in a startup or add any value. Senior marketing people have left because of marketing leadership's insecurities, controlling nature, and highly emotional demeanors. Spending money like water and hiring the young and inexperienced just because they look attractive instead of experienced veterans with domain knowledge is shameful.

Hi Anonymous Employee, I’m not sure when you were at SnapLogic, but your post is not accurate. We haven’t had anyone leave our marketing organization in over a year. In fact, we’re building out sales and marketing in 2015 and just completed a world-class sales kickoff that was ranked very highly by everyone who attended. Our sales and marketing teams are aligned and our company is focused on delivering a unified platform to connect big data, cloud applications and APIs faster. We’re also hiring in engineering. You can see all of the open positions at SnapLogic here: http://www.snaplogic.com/about-us/jobs Regards, SnapLogic Team

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.
