Pros

Decent product Recognizable brand Good health insurance

Cons

Thrown into online training with zero support from the get-go, my manager spent maybe an hour or two with me over three months. I was fired two months after getting accounts because leadership decided “there wasn’t enough time left in the year to catch up.” My manager admitted he had no closing experience before Snowflake and lied in his interview, then bragged about scamming the company’s travel system to pocket money. Coaching? Nonexistent. The culture felt more like a frat house than a professional workplace. At SKO, it was obvious: ~90% of the org is male, with most women in entry-level roles. Promotions seem more about connections than capability. Our RVP tried to motivate the team with a frosted-tips bet—I'm in sales to grow revenue, not watch a midlife crisis unfold. Heard multiple stories of reps being screamed at in QBRs and leaving in tears. This didn't seem isolated. Bottom line: If you're a frat bro with light ethics, you’ll thrive. If you’re a woman with ambition and a backbone, run.

Toxic Culture

Pros

Decent compensation and free breakfast and lunch

Cons

The company is currently struggling with a severe lack of competent leadership, particularly within mid-management. Many managers are inexperienced and incompetent, and the absence of well-established HR processes allows them to micromanage and mistreat employees. As a result, there’s a toxic work environment. Work-life balance is non-existent, and employees are often expected to work weekends. One of the most troubling trends is that good employees either leave quickly or are forced out, contributing to an overall decline in morale and productivity. Although the new CEO is doing their best to drive innovation, product management is lacking clear direction and effective leadership. Marketing lacks competent leadership. It has experienced high turnover and lacks the stability needed to execute a consistent vision.
