Snap Culture
How is Snap doing? Expecting an offer soon and would like to know if its worth joining. I read on glassdoor that wlb is poor for a lot of people. How many hours are we talking here? 50? Im used to working 9-5 so im not sure if ill survive. If tc is way higher then ill probably be down to sell my soul. Tc 280 Yoe 3
At 3 yoe, you should just grind hard af. You don’t need wlb at this stage of your life.
And who decides that ?
🐋 from Google!
Drowning in so much monies, I can retire right now if I wanted to and my total YOE is around 6 years. Culture is good depending on org and team
Which org would you recommend?
Ads ranking has high impact and growth potential but may not be the best for WLB
How to crack Snap interview?
Same as any other interview, lc, sus design
what was interview questions difficulty level.
Honestly you can choose your hours. If you wanna do well and work on impactful stuff, then more than 40 hours imo
^ yep almost true. But if all your teammates are high performing then you can’t really coast however smart you are. I personally do only 35-45 but I try to be super efficient and not take on work I don’t really need
Definitely not 9-5. Not really Facebook hours either. Somewhere in between
Which org to pick for wlb
I don’t think it’s org specific. More team dependent
I also got an offer from snap recently and I'm wondering about this. Would you be interested in doing a quick chat via DM to sync up on notes? I'm also curious if they give us the same offer because I have similar YOE.
I joined somewhat recently and I definitely can’t speak for every team (just mine), but it’s been so incredible and I’m really happy I joined. I would describe the culture as fun and supportive (so far at least!) edit: also a big part of why I joined Snap over other offers was the positivity of the Snap blind posters, even on threads where other people were being difficult on Snap. Without sounding too much like I drank too much koolaid, the “Kind” part of Snap’s values has been true so far to me in my experience here.
^ yeah so true. Kind and brave. We don’t fall for coward shitposters’ trolls
which org did you end up joining?
How to get a referral at Snap? Applied so many times but not getting any pings
