Pros

Impactful and interesting work and projects.

Good learning and growth opportunities.

Free lunch.

Cons

Quarterly performance reviews mean you get reviewed 4 times a year instead of 2 times a year, compared to other FAANG-like companies.

There's a very short time to ramp up and show improvements due to the small window for performance reviews.

Snap stock keeps on falling and has not recovered since 2021, which affects total compensation.

There's no real future for the company, with Instagram and TikTok taking over social media.

Pointless RTO 4 days a week.

Advice to Management

Give new employees more chances to learn and grow. Be more open and transparent about feedback, and ways to improve.
