      Smaller Was Better - Senior Software Engineer Snyk Employee Review

      Pros

      - Great people - Great challenges and opportunities to learn - Always have someone to learn from - Very strong management in the start of the company, very personal as well - Best direct managers I had were at Snyk (they don't work there anymore though mostly :) )

      Cons

      - With the nature of things, the personal management (high level management at least) has slowly disappeared - Hypergrowth led to some changes that I personally wasn't always a fan of - With the growth and change of management there were empty promises and things to keep you wanting to stay and work for things you want but in fact not see progress with the things that were promised to you - Most of the good people I knew over the years and REALLY cared about the product and wanted it to succeed had been either let go in redundancy rounds or just left.

      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.
