Pros

The people and mission at Snyk are the best thing about it. My peers were some of the best I have ever worked with. Great addressable market opportunity and kudos for redefining the market.

Cons

Like so many start ups that were valued at the height of the 2021 bubble, Snyk has to navigate numerous challenges as they navigate their scale up journey to IPO. They have lost a lot of good people and their GTM and product engineering needs a lot of focus.

Pros

Enough leeway to survive for a while

Cons

Toxic work environment. Promotion circus. Everyone that was talented has left or is leaving, with plenty of incompetent people sticking around, particularly in engineering. Product was once state of the art now can barely compete and all that remains in a brand over the shell of the company.

Pros

The environment fosters a great deal of collaboration. Direct management listens to ideas and often takes them onboard. Very competent colleagues and awesome technical support team. Worklife balance is highly encouraged. Benefits like wellness and education budget is great. Has corporate health insurance. If you’re well established in your career, Snyk is a great place to work for. But if you’re starting out your career in sales, probably should look somewhere else.

Cons

KPI does not align with overall sales objective and oftentimes lead to mismatched priorities between SDR and AE. Senior management is focused on business outcome but lacks attention to processes. Career progression is limited due to organisational structure (prioritises experience versus merit) which creates a bottleneck effect for entry level sales people. Everyone’s waiting in line for a promotion but unless someone moves up or moves out, no one’s going anywhere. The best they’ll do is a soft promotion with title change and some more money to keep you pre-occupied until you ask for another promotion. Inadequate support in coaching and support to ensure career progression and decrease turnover rate. Lack of resource for entry level employees to move up the chain. Seems to be a lot of promises and vision of growth but lacks accountability to follow through.
