AI Insights:
Snap operates like Amazon's younger sibling who went to art school - high pressure to ship products with a creative twist, but still expects you to grind 50+ hours a week. The company runs on ex-Amazon and ex-Google leadership who've imported their respective cultures of "move fast and break things" mixed with "everything is urgent." You can't rest and vest here; it's a place where you come for the money and career growth while accepting that work-life balance is more of a theoretical concept. The PIP culture isn't as brutal as Amazon's, but don't mistake that for permission to coast.
