I'm looking at an opportunity opening up at Snap inc. aka Snapchat. From the outside they look like a company dying. Bad decisions, poor leadership, constantly dropping stock and reports of toxic work environment. But they still keep throwing crazy parties (not really a great sign). Anyone have experience there? Is it ok, is it as bad as it looks?
I was a SWE there and also spent 1 year as a TPM, the company is chaotic but hey if you can stomach it, then go forth
Did you leave? Can I ask why?
This place is crazy.
How crazy? Angelina Jolie cray cray?...
I like working here. Culture in my team is pretty good. Pay is good as well. But I agree it’s at a risky point right now.
At this point I would only recommend joining if you have no other options
Why is that?
Yes, we had a way over the top nye party to celebrate IPO year. Not sure what crazy parties you’ve heard about since then. Since then a lot of other things have changed, for the better. Ignore the trolls on blind.
It’s either Groupon, no growth but hold current stock price,or Twitter, go 2-3x from now, while everyone has already counts us out
Pretty standard company, really.
It’s bad (per a friend on the inside)
Wow. I'm curious to know what a company like them with so much damn valuable data does with it all if they end up dissolving.
