Been a lot of bad news in the press lately, getting eaten alive by IG, botching the redesign, lowest ever stock price, leaked memo. Would you still take a SWE job there?
No.
All the good things about working for Snap are already gone.
No
The only answers worth listening to, are the ones from Snap employees. Can everyone else keep some silence and allow them to talk please?
They are busy at work
They are busy interviewing. š
Nope.
If your office is in Venice beach how long do you think you can survive ?
If you put all your stuff in a shopping cart, a long time apparently. You might have to fight people to keep them from stealing your traffic cones though.
The engineering office is not in Venice Beach. It is next to the Santa Monica airport. You get to see planes take off and land
Depends on how good you are at leetcoding because you'll probably have/want to get another job within 2 years
Join snap 2.0 aka Instagram
I certainly wouldn't join now, but then again, I always worked at other big name companies. If it's a clear step up, I'd still join.

Most prestigious filesystem?
Depends where you come from. If itād give me a 20%+ raise Iād take it. Itās still good to have it on your cv, even if itās for two months and they go bankrupt.
You're probably right but the latter half of your last statement is definitely a solid possibility at this point. Reports are being released that Snapchat will have to "go begging for cash in 2019".
This is what I'm thinking, but with a decent signing bonus as well. The bonus would tie me over if they go belly up or go through a round of layoffs soon (first in first out right?)
