Pros

- Amazing people: I genuinely loved working with people in my years at Snyk. They are smart, empathetic, friendly and willing to help. - Brad: the Snyk "brand" is still incredibly powerful, but the "facade" is all that's left after the management disaster of the past 3-4 years.

Cons

- The worst tech leadership I have ever seen in my career. The new Boston leadership has completely wrecked Snyk culture and what it once made it a great company - Churn and Growth: the company isn't growing any more and despite the effort, churn has not been stopped, and continue to increase. - AI revolution: The value proposition of "Secure at Inception" is extremely weak and likely to be won over by the competition with more talent and resources - Recent changes to Work Life Balance: recently the company has announced mandatory Return to Office for everyone, forcing also those who were in distributed teams, or with remote contracts. This is clearly a move to increase attrition and force people to resign over the coming months to reduce costs. - CEO: Peter is the worst CEO I have ever witness, completely ignorant about the product of its own company or what "AI" is and how it works. This is a sinking ship, run as fast as you can.

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
