70% of people on Glassdoor don’t recommend snap and there have been a lot of horror stories regarding the culture and management. However, they pay a lot, especially in stocks ($300k+) for new grads so I was wondering if anyone here had advice on whether to take the money and suffer for 4 years then reinterview with other companies or just avoid it completely? Edit: TC for Snap: 120k base, 10k signing, 322k RSU
What’s the total comp?
Must be an intern return offer, otherwise it should be 25/25/25/25. Do not come
Actually I’m not 100% sure on that part, the recruiter hasn’t sent the official offer letter yet but had a call saying he’ll be emailing it. Why do you say not to come?
Take it.
Why do you suggest that?
So he has a friend in hell
Take the offer, get pinkslipped and a hefty severance package, then go somewhere else with some change in your pocket
The annoying part is having to interview all over again. How much would a severance package be?
400k
Highly recommend taking it now. The market is going off data that came about from our app redesign launch in February. Idiots on blind are going off what they read on TechCrunch and hear from fellow techies. We can’t tell you any insider information, but the redesign was really really bad for metrics and we mostly reversed the changes since then.
What do you like about working there and how’s the room for growth? Also how long have you been there? Glassdoor keeps talking about people leaving/getting laid off frequently
I am a skeptic overall but at this point it’s a decent risk/return. Take it
U really believe it'll be worth 300k by the time you vest them?
True, that’s one of my concerns as well. Snap seems to be in a bad state so I’m not sure how long it’ll be around. Especially since Facebook took a dump on their product by remaking Snapchat into just an update across all FB related apps (IG, WhatsApp, FB) which just was to tell Snap that what they’re doing isn’t anything special.
This didn’t age well
