Can anyone tell me how’s the culture and wlb for the security org at Snap? Heard interesting things about the super smart people there. I’m in my early stages of my career and I would want to learn more about AppSec and I’m confused if it would make sense to join Snap or a FAANG. Tc -166k YoE - 2
Can attest to the comment above; I work in security org.
Have any insights on the interview process for security team?
Hey! I have an on-site as a backend engineer for the security team soon. Could you please talk about your experience?
Varies depending on mgr/specific team. Usually std leetcode. On the system design front, some security related design. But that usually is important for Snap L4+ only.
Oh but I heard sec engs are normally paid one level above so does an L3 become L4 automatically?
In terms of pay, yes. In terms of official designation, no. In terms of interview: somewhere in between. Like sec bar for L3 is somewhat like regular L4 bar.
I’ve read that it’s a lot of ex Googlers and very smart people. Don’t have any addition info to provide to your question but I believe if looking to switch roles, you may have a tough time switching roles while trying to join snap.
