Ventajas

Great product. Customers love the product and it truly is disrupting Enterprise Data Warehousing. Good CEO with solid intentions and desired company values.

Desventajas

The unicorn status and huge rounds of funding has led to the influx of big company executives and they’re bringing in ‘their people’ — irrespective of role or job suitability. The company has gone from under 200 employees to almost 1,000 in less than 2 years. Tremendous growth and culture scaling challenges ensuing. Good people are suddenly let go while random roles are created and being hired without much process. Managers need training— there is a sub-culture of sarcastic humor, disrespectful toxicity and putting people down in certain groups.

Ventajas

Compensation is the only thing they do right

Desventajas

Snowflake could learn something from Microsoft’s recent voluntary buyout of older workers. Instead, they make up bogus performance issues with their ridiculous quarterly review process. Manager’s flat out lie in these reviews and HR refuses to investigate. Instead of owning burnt sales territories and working on solutions for the field, they point fingers at individual performers. They allow management to flat out lie. Even support staff (solutions engineering) are not safe from these toxic tactics. Principal engineers with multiple years of excellence with the company are let go because of their age. The real need to layoff is hidden… broken territories and toxic management.
