Pros

I have worked at Snap for nearly 3 years.

I love working here. Snap is a very fast-paced office with tons of growth opportunity and a high upside in overall compensation. I will definitely stay my 4 years, minimum.

Lean teams mean you learn a lot and have a major impact on what you're building.

Our Sr. Leadership is STRONG. Jerry Hunter and Co. are very ambitious with what they're building, and I'm excited to be a part of that team.

The vision of what we've built has changed the way people communicate and consume media. That's pretty cool.

Cons

Snap isn't a well-oiled machine, which is what attracted me to the company in the first place. I was tired of being simply a high-performing number at a large tech company.

Snap is not as structured as Google or Amazon. We're in a growth phase between a scrappy unicorn startup and an impactful public company. Not everything is perfect, but the people that work here care about the company and are working very hard to improve the inconsistencies.

Advice to Management

Google does a really good job of showing its employees that it appreciates all the hard work and hours they've put in. A little bit of appreciation can go a long way.
