Pros

Product strategy is clear, company is very focused. There is something "different" at working at Snyk that you can't find in other companies. The company totally bypasses the use of emails and favors other more communication methods of communications (Slack, Zoom...) which makes collaboration great. Company is investing a lot in employees

Cons

very international environment without a single dominating HQ. Which is good and also a challenge to get used to

Hello, thank you for your kind review! So glad to see you call out that there's something so "different" about working at Snyk, we couldn't agree with you more about how special and great this company is.

Pros

Compensation is looks good- on paper. Hire cool places for events

Cons

Transparency is very poor between decisions making and success standards. Hire like crazy and fired like crazy. Avery planning in product organisation about when to ship which features Way too many commitments to the customer to achieve something company can not fulfil in time. Therefore it results in high pressure within product and R&D Engineering can not focus on containers one day and SAST like project another day

Hello, sorry to hear your difficult experience. Last week, with having to face some difficult headcount decisions, has indeed been a tough week for the company and we understand the frustration, but we believe strongly in the long-term success potential at Snyk, and our obligation to manage towards it in a fiscally responsible manner. Also appreciate your concern about a high pressure environment and quickly evolving priorities. This is, unfortunately, sometimes the nature of pivoting to address external pressures in a start-up environment, and we fully appreciate this can be challenging. If you have feedback or suggestions that you would like to share internally, please do feel free to reach out to your leadership or someone in the People team.
