I have a interview scheduled with a HM this week for a PM role at snap, but it just got cancelled. i also couldn’t find the job post on Snap website anymore. also received an email yesterday saying that a role I applied to was a great fit but they are not actively hiring at this moment. is Snap freezing its PM hiring? #productmanager #product #pm
Wouldn’t surprise me. They did the big hiring freeze/slowdown announcement not that long ago. Also, what are your thoughts about the stability of snap in this environment? Are you concerned that if shit hits the fan that they could be in trouble? I know they pay quite well, but I’d be worried that they’d be a lot more susceptible to layoffs than a more stable FAANG like meta or amazon.
Yea, I agree with you. I participated in the interview since it’s a level higher than my Meta role, so they paid really well lol. But snap is probably more fragile than Meta/Google/etc, and looks like they over-hired last year so it makes sense to slow down or even freeze hiring
Damn thats rough, following.
There is no blanket freeze. Some roles are de prioritized over others though (seems like your PM role was one of them)
How’s the moral at snap ? Are employees/teams still bullish about the future ? Any layoffs risk ?
Yes bullish. A lot of cool products are recently shipped
Gave my virtual on-site last week of May and the HM was ready to give me an offer and first week of June they started the freeze. Unfortunately, still in the market and actively interviewing so fingers crossed I get an offer soon.
