Snyk reviews

CULTURE. I genuinely do not understand how half of the people were hired. Practically all of the sales team are below quota but egos are humongous. Half of them really think they are special. It's so two faced here. Someone gets up to go to the bathroom in the office and they're spoken about immediately. Worst place I have ever worked. There is no strategy. No plan. Its really disheartening and disappointing.

Let me start by pointing out that I'm very happy in my day-to-day life in the company and strongly think that Snyk is a great place to work. With that said and done: All the executives are either born in the US or based in the US. Engineering and most of the product department is in Europe/Israel. This creates a disconnection for most policies. Although the company makes an effort to be involved in inclusion and diversity, it rarely takes into account local ethnicities, e.g: Israeli Arabs. As a consequence of rapid growth, there's been a big increase in bureaucracy and policy, which results in many unnecessary meetings that can be sometimes frustrating and induce burnout. This comes from my experience in the engineering department. I can't speak for other departments. Ill-defined definitions for engineering roles and promotions. New people arrive (see referrals above) with these titles, yet being promoted internally can easily become a pitfall since no one knows well enough what is expected from these roles and it becomes a managerial gut feeling. Ever since Engineering has grown so much, I sometimes feel that teams try to shrug off ownership or delegate it to a different team instead of working together to fix issues. I think that this could potentially mean that some teams are currently understaffed.
