Pros
You'll form really close bonds with your coworkers here, in the way that people who go through a collectively traumatic experience come out on the other side as life-long friends. You'll have a quarterly forum to voice your opinions and constructive feedback, although if you peel back too many layers they will gaslight you until you realize "no, it's not all in my head. I'm a talented individual and this is not how businesses should be run," and hand in your resignation. Perks: -Coffee -Beer -Newly renovated office with lots of parking
Cons
A certain Snapshot blog post (Quality, Speed, Price… Can you have it all?) sums it up: Snapshot thinks they are the "unicorn" that can deliver a well-made product faster and cheaper than their competitors. Obviously, unicorns are mythical, and to believe oneself is a unicorn is delusional. The iron triangle is basic economics and Snapshot may think they are delivering, but it only sometimes works because the bar for "well-made" is very low. So good on you if you end up with something to show for your work here, and I'm sorry about all the overtime you probably put in to pull it off. Occasionally a well-made product is actually delivered on time, and I'd be willing to bet they lost a handful of employees in the process. This is not recognized as a cost because every single human employed here is seen as disposable, never mind the very real cost of hiring and onboarding their replacements. There's a lingering recession mindset towards hiring here: there will always be some new grad hungry for the job (refer back to things being "well-made.") Also: -No retirement plan -Sub-par insurance -Bare-minimum PTO package
