Pros

- Learned a lot about the industry - Fast-growing company - Great conditions - health care and options

Cons

- Disrespectful management - treated and still are treating employees in a very disrespectful manner. The EMEA manager literally lies to his team. - Unequal salaries between men and women. Cancelled the female opinions on the sales team, both NA directors (and VP) and EMEA. - No work-life balance. - I have friends that still work at Snyk, but want to get out of there because the bad treatment they are getting. The main reson they are staying is because Snyk is about to go public. This is important to be said when you consider working there. They show a pink picture, but the reality is that half of the company left it, 2 out of 3 founders left the company and many veteran employees as well because of how the management treats employees like trash. They fired over 10% of employees during COVID, and putting more pressure on those who stayed, with no mental support.

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.

Once an exciting company going places, now an inward looking, worrying place to work!
