Bout to start at Snap, so I’m curious what peeps think about him? What type of culture does he instill, and does it actually reflect the culture handbook?
Any insights would be awesome!
This is my first big tech company, worked at start ups prior. One with shit culture, one with absolutely fantastic culture.
TC: $165k, non-tech
YOE: 3.5-4

Snap today is boring, corporate, and (unproductively) liberal. It feels a lot like Google but with less money to waste on nonsense that we still waste on nonsense.
Now, does his vision for the company match reality? I don’t know. It’s tough because there is this strange dichotomy where we want to value the provacy of users and keep the ephemeral nature of the app, but need to make money from ads. But so far, Snap has been pretty successful, and our most recent earnings showed us earning a profit for the first time. So something somewhere in this company is going well.
As for Evan soiegel all I know is that he was one of the youngest billionaires
Flagged by the community.
From a wealthy family is just insulting his hard work. When did I ever say it’s harder in any sort of way
He needs to show excitement, positivity, and appear friendly to a wide audience of people across many levels/roles.
He needs to be firm, opinionated, hold high level execs accountable, and have a strong leadership presence to have the respect of people that are far more experienced than he is.
Overall, I feel he does a good job with both given his own level of experience. He’s still learning, is very young, and has an immense amount of responsibility. He’s balancing his vision for the great culture while also trying to meet commitments to shareholders. Those two things are in constant conflict, and snap as managed it well under his leadership.
From a product vision perspective, I don’t feel he influences it to a meaningful level. But I think it’s alright he doesn’t, as it’s due to the scope of responsibility day-to-day he has. It’s not optimal for him to make low level decisions when we should be hiring the best teams of people in the world to make them.
Ready for that, but good to hear the guys got a real head on his shoulders.
Would you say that the entire leadership team is pretty solid across the board?
