Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

Snowflake are doing exciting things in the world of Data & AI. In general the people are nice to work with and willing to help. Salary is competitive

Minpunten

Run by engineers who don't always understand the market. Tend to build products/features without research to see if it is wanted. Little ability to change management thinking and your ideas tend to get push aside for management agendas. Way to much redundant paperwork and poor processes and countless meetings and reviews that achieve nothing that consume time that could be spent inovating
