Pros

Many people I worked with are now friends

Cons

Where to start? This company is not what it seems when you do the interview, they will tell you many lies just for you to join and then you will realise the mistake you made. Everyone at Snyk thinks that product designers are there just to draw some triangles or to make things pretty. The design management is not what it seems, you will feel not supported at all and they are not interested in your growth and development but just that you make the pms happy. Avoid if you care to design and ship good products and to work in an environment where you feel supported and you want to grow. The product experience is also bad and they know it because they have many upset customers but the company doesn't care, they are too busy to change strategy (again!) and to do nonsense layoffs

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review of your time at Snyk. While I’m glad you were able to make some close friends, I’m sorry to hear that your experience did not align with your expectations, and that you did not feel supported in your growth and development at Snyk. We take the careers of our Snykers seriously and take pride in our focus to invest in the learning and development of our teammates so they can continue to grow with us. While I’m sorry we don’t have the opportunity to speak with you directly on this, your feedback is important to us. - Sandy Mott, VP Talent Business Partnering

Pros

The pay, the people, the benefits

Cons

They're a non-public, start-up company, they had layoffs which is always scary.

Pros

Product is simple to learn Most of the people are wonderful

Cons

No career opportunities - whatever position/salary you get hired at is the end of your journey. I am pretty sure I saw less than 4 TSMs get promoted in my entire time there. Beyond toxic internal systems - Sales teams completely control your life/career, whatever you are imagining isn't half of how bad it gets. No vision at all - I had 4 different direct managers, 3 different directors and all but a handful of C-suites ran for the hills. Clearly no one knows what to do with the company. Product - Its honestly a wonderfully polished turd. Snyk looks really good at first, then you realize it barely does SCA/SAST, DAST is good but thats only because they acquired it. Their AI tooling... half baked would imply someone at least thought about putting it in the oven. Layoffs - Didn't impact me, but clearly investors want their money and only hope is to gut the company.
