Pros

Very difficult to think of any tangible pros. The Pay is 'ok' and at the low end market average The benefits are ok, and fully paid (employee only) Option grants are ok and at low Average for this type/age of Start-up Corporate office Bennies (free food, snacks, Beverages, Booze on Fridays at Happy Hour) are pretty typical for a Sil Valley company, nothing special but nice to have. (Meaningless to Field Employees) Some very smart and dedicated people, (but these are few, and are fleeing fast) Decent VC backing, but they are becoming A good Product base, the premise behind the platform is sound, and unique in this space.

Cons

1. Very poor leadership, no direction is given and everything (sales, ops, Eng) is in desperation mode. 2. The best talent (sales, Eng etc) is leaving as fast as they can 3. The product is half baked at best, and the new version is no where near ready (was forced out too soon by management, with no plan how to get existing customers upgraded, and its also lacking significant functionality available in the previous version) 4. Leadership takes the attitude that if your not happy here then quit. 5. The mantra is 'we are a start up, deal with it' is repeated ad nausea, constructive criticism from the rank and file is at best given lip service, and typically ignored all together. 6. Product is priced way above the market., Ego at the leadership level wont change to meet market conditions. 7. Lack of any type of repeatability or long term strategy in Sales. 8. Some serious Ego without results in Sales and Leadership 9. No marketing. You cant sell what people dont know about. 10. Company reacts to criticism by placing forced fake reviews on Glassdoor (its obvious to everyone) 11. Tremendous trun-over in Sales leads to constant new sales team ramp and further delays any type of repeatable go to market wins 12. Mid level managers are either petty tyrants or completely incompetent, no direction or transparency to the rank and file. 13. A very crowded and mature space, (integration) with no real strategy or plan how to deferentiate the offering and win customers. 14. Lack of repeatability and sales means burn rate is high and VC funding is hard to come by.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and for being a member of the SnapLogic team. We acknowledge our flaws and look to always develop a positive and engaging work environment. We are listening to suggestions from current and former employees and we are actively improving by rolling out an employee peer recognition program, a goal platform from the top down and personal development plans for all employees. We are happy to announce this week that we have hired and on-boarded a VP of Marketing, Darren Cunningham, who is a well known and highly respected player in the Silicon Valley. We have an extremely talented team and are very proud of their continued efforts and successes. Our sales strategy and engineering focus continue to be driven by customer demand and a hunger for a superior product. We benchmark our salaries and options and are proud to be at or above average for the Valley. I would like to specifically address point #10: "Company reacts to criticism by placing forced fake reviews on Glassdoor (its obvious to everyone)" It is hurtful to see any mention of "fake" reviews. We do nothing of the sort nor is that option available as it would compromise the integrity of this site. We have never forced any individual in any way, shape, or form to say anything positive or negative about us. We invite all of our employees to visit Glassdoor and to provide their honest feedback. What you see is a reflection of the individuals' perspective of their role within the SnapLogic team. Our goal remains to grow, prosper and learn and we thank you for your role in that and for your perspective.

Pros

Competitive Salary Great perks: 100% paid health insurance, in-house lunch several times per week, happy hour every Friday Majority of employees are very talented experts in their fields

Cons

Very negative, hostile work environment While cash comp is good, the company is very stingy with equity and ownership Seniority is valued over merit - the company has an extremely high employee churn rate Regular rounds of mass firings A-List talent doesn't stick around for very long Opaque, secretive Exec Team Exec Team spends more time in planning meetings than getting things done Frequent yelling matches behind closed doors Personal agendas and subterfuge are the rule not the exception Incompetent and dictatorial top-down management style Managers seem like they're always angry and stressed out No real opportunity for advancement. Many employees feel stuck in their jobs.

Pros

- Phenomenal CEO - Excellent leadership team with proven track record - Good VC back (Andreesen and Horowitz) - Cutting edge technology - Extremely competitive salary + benefits (great perks: gym allowance and cell phone reimbursement) - Great culture and people - Convenient office location (101/92 area, right downtown San Mateo with all the shops and restaurants, and just blocks away from CalTrain)

Cons

- Big politics for small company due to some big-company executives - Some degree of arrogance from a couple of team members from big companies (comes with territory I guess) - Needs more marketing awareness - Small sales function (more $ = more sales reps)
