Hi Snap engineers, I'm considering joining Snap in Seattle. How is work life balance and culture in general? Would love to get some insights before making my decision. Thanks!
Do you mind sharing your level and offer details at snap?
Software engineer 2. I haven't seen the numbers though
Seattle office is most Amazon'ers. They're smart and hard-workers. They have a good team dynamic and I sense from snaps that they have a pretty good work life balance (meaning that while they work past 40+ hours, when they're not working they're well checked out). They have a bit of friction with the mothership due to ideological engineering differences but they're generally on the right side of arguments. But TLDR coworker wise, they're good coworkers to have.
Thanks! I heard somewhere about the cult meeting every Wednesday. Is this true?
Are you talking about "council"? It's not super cult-y but it's understandable that it seems weird. You can do a google search for snapchat council for some brief articles about it.
Sorry I am unfamiliar with our latest offers or how a lvl2 maps to other companies
All of our satellite offices are very relaxed (the ones I have been to), often times you see people packing up to go home much earlier than in our HQ.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Well stock is tanking, so it may be a good time before it jumps back up like FB did /s
Stock price aside, I wanted to know what's like working in the Seattle office as an engineer right now
If it's tanking in a tech bubble it's not coming back. š
