Poor leadership decisions and lack of people focus is killing this company

Pros

Great people to work with who are passionate about the job they’re doing and willing to help each other out.

Cons

Terrible leadership: they make bad decisions , have constant reorgs, put the emphasis of development on the wrong products. No vertical movement: little to no chance of promotion, they think recognition is saying well done and not compensating you or promoting you, they do not care about the people in Snyk anymore, unless you work a lot with leadership then your chance of being recognised is near to none, they’ve changed promotions so you have to advocate for it not your manager and to get exceeding expectations now you have to be “utterly exceptional” according to them but won’t define how that is reached. To them meeting expectations is doing your job role and also the job role above your level. They expect you to work overtime without compensation in teams where there is no overtime model in place which is plainly exploitative. Overall Snyk is not a place I would recommend anyone to work at if you are ambitious and career driven and want to be recognised for this.Snyk have lost a lot of top level talent because of what I’ve mentioned. They’re leaving in droves.

Slightly unsure but willing to sit tight.

Pros

- Able to manage own time & work load, my manager has a very "get things done and I won't ask too many questions" approach, which is great. They are understanding, fair and I have had a good experience working with them. - Good pay for the type of role that I do - Smart people, especially at the IC level - Collaborative, lots of cross functional projects

Cons

- After being here for 2 rounds of redundancy, does sometimes feel like people are unable to relax. I know it plays on my mind when making personal decisions. - I can't even keep up with the number of Exec / VP exits

Good Pay = Work Overload

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Really nice team.

Cons

Tough expectations regarding work hours. Work-life balance is advertised, but in reality it doesn't exist. You need to be "on" all the time especially because they are a Global company. Burnout among employees. Processes are starting to be fine tuned, but with a company that has grown so quickly there was a lot to work through.
