Data science at Snap?

Anyone here work in Analytics at Snap? 1. How's the culture? 2. How's the compensation? 3. What's the interview process like? 4. How is analytics/data science at Snap? Do you like your coworkers? Are you working on interesting problems, or are you just making dashboards?

Nothing's wrong with SQL, but there's something weird about calling yourself data scientist when all you do is spend your time in SQL.

Snap is not a data driven company according to friends who work there. Design and product intuition guide decision making there.

They will have to be soon, especially if they want to be taken more seriously from advertisers

Didn't they freeze all hiring ?

Not all

Some teams are under a headcount freeze. Multiple rumors around the IPO vs actually being out of room for any new hires. (some offices are well over capacity for an optimal work environment)
