I interviewed at Snowflake (Singapore) in Oct 2021
Interview
The worst experience ever. I was excited about the role in snowflake, prepared a lot and the interview went good (based on the manager's feedback - I even asked)
Then they ghosted me, no response, no reply, nothing. I've heard it happens sometimes but never imagined it would happen to me especially from Snowflake. I interviewed Databricks at the same time, it led me to a clear difference between these two companies: culture of respect.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
sales related question - sales cycle, markets knowledge
I applied online. I interviewed at Snowflake (Amsterdam)
Interview
unprofessional communication during and after the process. Very different vibes during the rounds and odd ending. Also the offer was unclear and not attractive. pretending that they only hire 1% of people while they have low performing people wokring for them
The interview process was very fast and very informal. The informality almost threw me off after other tech interviews. The people I met were very nice. Left with a neutral feeling overall.
I applied online. I interviewed at Snowflake in Aug 2022
Interview
6 interviews over 7 weeks. I tempered my enthusiasm and tried to be humble. Each conversation went better and better even in the last moment with the global VP. Great guy. He told me to get excited because he wanted me onboard. Based on the feedback he had gotten and experienced himself, he mentioned he would like to see me work for snowflake. “ You will be contacted as soon as possible but most likely tomorrow “. I got excited, told my friends and family and all.. then I got ghosted for 2 weeks, I have not gotten a single reply or email or phone call.. utterly disrespectful and just wrong. Horrible experience
