Snap - LA - Web Engineers

how is it at Snap? how is the culture/morale/pay? is the environment toxic? do you get to take any PTO?

We're looking for full-stack/front-end engineers :). Can't say we're competitive with Snap in terms of pay, but we definitely beat Cornerstone.

I DMd you awhile ago actually but didn’t hear anything back

Don't have anything from you in my inbox, try again?

I have been at Snap for a 2+ years. Great people to learn from, autonomy and people are bought into the company mission. Stock has huge upside. We have unlimited PTO

How is the turnover? Do people actually take their unlimited PTO? it’s a common perk for companies in California

People definitely take PTO, it’s encouraged and managers and ICs take it regularly. Haven’t seen much turnover since I’ve been here and people generally are happy since we have done well on our earnings calls all year. It’s a great place to be with smart people

Pay is higher than most FAANG companies and engineering culture is strong. Just hit my 1 year and loving it!

how are they about promos? Is going from L1 to L2 or L2 to L3 relatively easy if you perform well? (I.e. timelines for both)

Till L4 is simple as long as you deliver. I’ve taken over 4 weeks PTO/year since I joined.
