Work life balance/culture at Snap Seattle

Aug 11, 2017 16 Comments

Hi Snap engineers,

I'm considering joining Snap in Seattle. How is work life balance and culture in general? Would love to get some insights before making my decision.

Thanks!

  • Seattle office is most Amazon'ers. They're smart and hard-workers. They have a good team dynamic and I sense from snaps that they have a pretty good work life balance (meaning that while they work past 40+ hours, when they're not working they're well checked out). They have a bit of friction with the mothership due to ideological engineering differences but they're generally on the right side of arguments. But TLDR coworker wise, they're good coworkers to have.

      Junior levels here don't map as well, but for a new grad starting here, it's expected that they get promoted to L2 within their first year, and then get promoted to L3 by the end of their second year/a little bit after that.

    Well stock is tanking, so it may be a good time before it jumps back up like FB did /s

      If it's tanking in a tech bubble it's not coming back. 😂

  • Do you mind sharing your level and offer details at snap?

  • All of our satellite offices are very relaxed (the ones I have been to), often times you see people packing up to go home much earlier than in our HQ.

  • Sorry I am unfamiliar with our latest offers or how a lvl2 maps to other companies
