I had several questions about Snap as a company on deciding whether to join it or not.
- What is engineering culture like
- WLB ( I understand it’s team specific but any pointers on how to make good decision on this)
- Feasibility on moving the teams let’s say after a year or so
- Would location be factor to get good team ? I am currently in NYC thinking about Seattle or LA it required
- what’s tech stack for backend engineering
- Benefits you like (everything around holidays etc.)
Current TC: E4 250k (stock crash) and L4 Snap 390k TC #snap

- wlb isn’t 20-30 hours it most likely 45-50. On call can be hectic depending on the team and/or product.
- there’s now pip. Bottom 10% are out. Most of us are leaving because of stock drop anyways.
- tech stack mostly leverages gcp followed by aws.
- PLs: go, Java, Python, cpp
- internal tooling isn’t great but whatever is in place does the job. Quality is alright, its just not extensive.
- most of the senior ICs were promoted to managers when the stock was picking up between 2018-2020. Most of whom aren’t good managers. So you’ve been warned
WLB for me is all over the place and largely depends on the projects I undertake - fortunately, it's been pretty solid as of late. However, I did take on too much earlier in the quarter and get destroyed - I'll be throttling off come the summer so I can really enjoy it. Infra side of things.
Wlb depends on the team. Just request to talk to engineers on the team when you are team matching. I work 20 to 30 hours a week
Most teams are remote friendly so it shouldn’t affect you. I’m the only person in my state on my team
Backend is Java mainly
