Pros

Flexibility of working remotely for remote workers, reimbursement for cell phone and gym expenses (remote workers). Pay is decent. Company viability seems relatively good.

Cons

Company culture and morale tanked when the current ELT came onboard. Strong surveillance culture, shady communication, sneaky layoffs are becoming a new norm with this ELT. Opportunities for career growth are much more limited now. Benefits are getting cut - “unlimited PTO” is limited, reduced company holidays. Stock based compensation is stingy at best. Even as a top performer , don’t count on getting equity refreshes or raises. Intent on replacing humans with AI vs augmenting human work with AI.

Pros

Compensation is the only thing they do right

Cons

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.
