Great people, Terrible Leadership

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

The company offered a interesting environment, which can be valuable for early-career professionals looking to build foundational skills and gain cross-functional experience.

Cons

The company may not be the best fit for more experienced sellers seeking strategic engagement, autonomy, or opportunities as the scope of responsibilities tends to be more execution-focused.

Pros

1. Great HR team - They hire the right people and there is a lot of amazing people that work here. 2. Every single person I interacted with during my time at Snyk was phenomenal at their job and outside of work. They're good people who will help out if you have questions and huddle to figure things out together. 3. Cool office 4. Decent pay, but you really risk getting laid off as they seem to lay off the newest employees first 5. Lunch provided for those in-office once a week. 6. Lots of ways to network and meet coworkers

Cons

1. History of layoffs - this was a red flag for me when I was joining the team, but I thought surely they wouldn't do another round of layoffs after 4. I think it just gives a bad vibe to everyone who remains and leaves. 2. Leadership prioritizes acquisitions over people. After their recent layoffs in June they announced they had acquired another company which makes you wonder if that is why they laid so many people off again. 3. They don't seem to be good at managing money - look into it. 4. Constantly changing things when it comes to offerings and GTM strategies. 5. Lack of customer support
