Pros
  • Great people
  • Great challenges and opportunities to learn
  • Always have someone to learn from
  • Very strong management in the start of the company, which was very personal as well
  • Best direct managers that I had were at Snyk (though they don't work there anymore mostly :))
Cons
  • With the nature of things, the personal management (high level management at least) has slowly disappeared.
  • Hypergrowth led to some changes that I personally wasn't always a fan of.
  • With the growth and change of management there were empty promises and things to keep you wanting to stay and work for things you want, but in fact not see progress with the things that were promised to you.
  • Most of the good people I knew over the years and who REALLY cared about the product and wanted it to succeed had been either let go in redundancy rounds or just left.
Advice to Management

I understand that you are doing what needs to be done to keep the company alive and successful, and there's a reason why Snyk is still alive and kicking... but... more transparency and honesty with the employees would be a great step that would reduce ambiguity.
