Roku😔😣😓what

Snap just withdrew my offer

Got a verbal and written (email) offer from Snapchat earlier this week. I wanted to accept it and sent an email to the recruiter a few days later. No response for 2 days. After multiple emails to recruiter and HM, the recruiter finally called me and said that the direction of the team has changed and they are withdrawing the offer. How can the direction of the team change in 2 days? Can someone from Snap provide insight into why this happened? Quite sad since I was excited about working at Snap. Offer TC 380

And some people say you should never renege an offer. I say f these companies, they don't give a damn about rescinding your offer.

LinkedIn U💰S💰D Sep 25, 2020

Yeah, but if you renege the company can blacklist you forever.

Google 2020Sucks Sep 25, 2020

Blacklist them back!

Wtf, that’s so messed up

A lot of red flags. You probably avoided a bullet tbh.

Amazon ugGi45aj Sep 25, 2020

Yeah. Snap's a shitty place is what I hear.

Snapchat picaboo👻 Sep 25, 2020

Not as bad as amazon 😂 and I came from there

What function and what team?

Roku 😔😣😓what OP Sep 25, 2020

ML domain. Don’t want to give out the specific team in an open forum.

Roku 😔😣😓what OP Sep 25, 2020

Maybe they have a legitimate reason. I want to give them the benefit of doubt.

Amazon inkwr Sep 25, 2020

Offer disappears as soon as you see it. That's a new Snap feature 😂

In before FB copies it!

And I, am iron man... (Snap!)

Because TikTok avoided ban, Snap’s plan with you changed. You’re most likely a big fish. Sorry for you! The higher you grow such big things affect more and more.

380 at Snap is just a senior engineer. Seems like internal political bs, not anything geopolitical.

Snapchat LEGOstumps Sep 25, 2020

It’s actually not a senior engineer.

Sorry you had to go through that. What do you expect from a company still struggling to make money after almost a decade of existence? Hope you find something more stable.

Sounds like they have amateurs doing their hiring. Not managing the process effectively. Either they didn’t account for a decision maker’s input, discovered they couldn’t afford you, or (and I hate to think this way) they are using candidates for intel and experience. This is why I never understand people who have an iota of emotional attachment or onus to a business or its employees. Two weeks notice why?? Scared to practice interview with companies for what? Scared to reject an offer why? Do you. They will absolutely look out for themselves.
