Pros

Congrats to the marketing team for creating a perfect picture for this rotten company.

Cons

Let’s begin: More then 60% of the people working here are hired based on recommendations…. I never seen in my life as many incompetents gather at one table deciding what other should do. All the values that this company pretends to have is just another way of saying: “ we want you to have no life, do your job 200% and the jobs that others and incapable of doing with 0 recognition/ promotion or more money. It’s unreal to me how this people sell security products when they have 0 idea what security is, not to mention that they don’t follow what they preach. Product wise — all lies. Snyk managed to build one product - have baked, all the rest is just pure crap. That are faaar better security tools literally everywhere you look. Open source is an upgrade compared to this products. Let’s talked about mental health for a moment. If you haven’t had a burnout so far, be my guest this company will offer you plenty in a year. As mentioned before the expectations vs reality of this company are mind blowing. Being on a verge of a mental breakdown is a must here, nobody listens or cares and if you ask for help this will be your label. I never experienced anxiety at this level before. Every thing here changes 10 time in a week cuz they have no vision/direction/process. There is no vision- maybe just the fingers crossed someone blind will buy this company out. After so many rounds of layoffs as a result of the great strategic minds that run Snyk, is just a matter of time until another one will follow.

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.
