Pros

1 - Poeple is nice 2 - There is a culture to help you with an open smile 3 - Relaxed environment for the most part, usually no overtime required 4 - Overall, excellent place to work as long as you don't care about poor manaagement

Cons

1 - I once asked if POs were secretaries, PO management answer was "Yes". 1.1 If you are applying to be a PO, be sure that you will have no control of your product, you are nothing but a secretary that has to say yes to everything, and a ticket monkey after that, otherwise you will end up in the "black list". 2 - One of Snap values is "invite the ideas", this does not happen unless you are in the circle. 2.1 Tech management will only listen to "friends", and the PO management will only listen to what makes them look good with the business. You will not be heard unless you comply with that. 3 - Salaries are below market, for CR at least, and rises depend, again, on wether you are or not in the circle, they tell people different versions. 3.1 - An example I know of: a Dev that went PO was denied a salary rise as "Devs salaries were higher than POs". 3.2 - Surprisingly enough, a PO that went Dev was denied a salary rise as "POs salaries are higher than Devs". 4 - Transparecy does not exist, one of the most important pillars in agile is absent in this company thanks to its deficient management. 5 - After being told over and over that each qarter the company was exceeding expectations by a lot, not even a month into the pandemic and they got rid of hunderds of people. 5.1 - Be sure that this company is not stable, at the minimum sign of crisis, they'll laid you off, starting with those that are not in the circle or that are not aligned with their view submissive employee, of course. 5.2 - If you are not submissive or shine brighter than management, you will get laid off, no pandemic required.

Pros

Supportive Team Environment From day one, I felt welcomed and valued. My team and colleagues are always willing to help, answer questions, and provide guidance. It's not just lip service—people actually care about seeing you succeed. Whether you need help understanding a complex process or just need to bounce ideas off someone, there's a collaborative spirit that makes the workplace feel like a real community. Leadership is approachable and invested in their teams' wellbeing. Incredible Growth Opportunities What I appreciate most is the emphasis on learning and development. Snap Finance truly invests in their people. I've had the chance to expand my skill set, take on new responsibilities, and grow professionally in ways I didn't expect. The company seems to value internal advancement and encourages employees to develop expertise. Whether it's formal training, cross-functional projects, or learning from experienced colleagues, there are genuine opportunities to level up your career. Why I Love It Here The combination of a supportive culture and real growth potential makes Snap Finance stand out. It's refreshing to work for a company that sees employees as long-term assets rather than short-term resources. If you're looking for a place where you can learn, grow, and feel genuinely supported, I'd definitely recommend considering Snap Finance.

Cons

Nothing of note to add here.
