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.
