Why You Want to Work at Snapchat

Work­ing at Snapchat is so much fun it was hard to get work done. That’s what some Snap employ­ees are saying.

But with an audi­ence of over 300 mil­lion peo­ple who use Snapchat every month this could be the place to work at if you want to change the world.

What is SnapChat?

Snap says that they are a cam­era com­pa­ny and that rein­vent­ing the cam­era rep­re­sents their strongest way to improve the way peo­ple live and com­mu­ni­cate.  They want their users to “live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together”.

Accord­ing to Snap, Spec­ta­cles are the sun­glass­es that make it easy to make mem­o­ries from your per­spec­tive, and then relive them lat­er. The Spec­ta­cles team is the newest mem­ber of the Snap Inc. fam­i­ly, sit­u­at­ed at the inter­sec­tion of cut­ting edge cam­era tech­nol­o­gy and software.
