Meh - Software Engineer SnapStream Media Employee Review

Overall, this is a great place to work in Houston. There's not a lot of companies with a fun tech culture in Houston, so it really is a gem in this city. It's small and has all the benefits of a fun tech start-up culture, but it's an established company and doesn't have most of the stresses/cons that come with a new start-up company. Through COVID, they have created a great support system and resources for everyone to work from home, and we aren't returning to the office too early. I do miss the fully stocked pantry that we had in the office, but I appreciate that they are taking my safety first.

I miss all the snacks

Want to work in an environment where you can turn on the TV and see some of the world's most watched shows using your product? If so, this is the right job for you! The SnapStream product is incredible and a pleasure to show to customers. For such a small company (around 25 people), SnapStream has made a HUGE impact on how organizations work with television content on both the production and marketing sides of their shows. The SnapStream office is in a great area, right near The Heights and there are a lot of benefits of working for the company. SnapStream has repeatedly been named a "Best Place to Work" in Houston. This is because of the relaxed work environment and very supportive staff. Some of the highlights: - An always stocked kitchen means you don't have to worry about breakfasts or lunches during the workweek. - Weekly catered TGIF meetings where you can share beers and stories with your co-workers. - Potential for merit based financial awards for good work. - Great insurance coverage - Wall full of classic video game systems and games for when you need to show off your Duck Hunt skills. Counter-Strike runs amazingly well on our local network! - Monthly "Fun-Fund" events; bowling, brewery tours, Nerf gun office wars (yes, we have a wall of Nerf guns...), etc. SnapStream is a work-hard play-hard atmosphere. The work isn't always easy but working for SnapStream is great. The work is rewarding and the people who work at SnapStream want you to succeed.

Not a con but make certain you are ready to work. Management expects a lot from you but they give you the tools and support to succeed. This is not a job for someone who isn't self-motivated.
