Business Outlook

Pros

Above average pay - for most employees Good opportunity for many if you fit their culture and heavy push for sales Snowflake has excellent products

Cons

Unlimited paid time off (translates to fear to take, max is actually 20) Lots of favoritism Fear to share real opinions and ideas in that department Employee survey is method to find and then push out people Disjointed between departments, don't hear/see partnership or buy-in Cut throat mindframe and little effort to support any unless top performer

Business Outlook

Pros

Hardworking colleagues, learned a lot, get to work with cool technology! Good pay!

Cons

Mangers never worked a support engineering roles and are completely 'non-technical' and that led to some difficulties and often disagreements. I felt rushed and pushed for output. Expected KPI's continued 30% yoy - led to more competitive and less collaboration. AI expected usage was heavy.

Bad reputation

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some great coworkers Nice lunches in the office

Cons

Reputation loss on local labour market, caused mainly by political performance review processes and badly performed layoffs earlier 2025. Every CTO visit is literally causing panic in the office, people just afraid further layoffs. They do promote a quick firing culture on the daily basis. You can get fired for whatever reason and your voice is not being heard. PR stats driven culture. HR are not supportive at all, they play against people. The company is unable to attract top talent anymore due to the above. Weak local senior leadership.
