About

On October 24, 2022, Israeli-US cybersecurity company Snyk announced a second round of layoffs, cutting 198 employees, which represents 14% of its workforce of approximately 1,400. CEO Peter McKay cited significant market shifts and a need to adapt to economic headwinds, aiming to balance growth with profitability and achieve free cash flow positivity by 2024. This follows a previous layoff of 30 employees in June 2022, as the tech sector slowed. Despite rapid growth—doubling annually with over 2,300 customers—Snyk faced challenges, including a potential drop in valuation from its last $8.5 billion funding round in 2021. The layoffs are part of a restructuring to operate more efficiently amid global economic uncertainties.
