What happens when most of your team is Indian?
What points one can use to contrast the culture for attracting people from Snapchat to other companies?
Culture is in flux right now. We are still finding our way. Good time to join IMO.
I spoke with a few folks there during my interview and I think it would be a similar culture with Amazon.
Is there Snap leadership principles?
Nope because Snap doesn't have real leadership.
Do people move from Snapchat to other companies? Or is it fairly infrequent given the company size at this point?
They (until recently?) had 10/20/30/40 vesting, so a lot of employees are probably incentivized to stay where they are
they recently changed it to 25/25/25/25 with no cliff ( paid monthly I believe
Fucking terrible. Imagine Amazon amplified.
โThe most successful company in the world amplifiedโ lol I wish I love it at snap tho โ๏ธ
๐๐๐๐๐๐ the delusions are real!!
What is the main thing to avoid for someone joining Snap?
I think like most other companies it really depends on the team and manager. Not even LA culture vs Seattle culture. I know people in the same org but different managers make a worlds difference. Like Uewr00 said I think now is a good time to join BC the culture is a bit more malleable
Thanks. Any specific teams you can recommend?
What kind of traits are you looking for in a team?
Thoughtful engineering, high velocity, open communications, no assholes
Howโs the work life balance in Seattle office? Is 9-5 a common thing at all?
Why would you consider going there now? Their future is bleak.
Because everyone thinks the future is bleak, now is the easiest time to get in at the lowest price ;)
