Excellent platform, great people, good pay & benefits. Most importantly, the culture is top notch. At Snowflake the people are smart, capable, and genuine. The focus is on our business and on ensuring we hire and retain top talent. No bs, no fluff, no politics, no jr high drama.

Pros

Outstanding product, great employees and nice, respectful culture. Snowflake is going through a transition time for sure, and change is hard for some. But the future is so bright. Our new CEO and executive leaders are making great strides to build a company and product offering which will be wildly successful in the market place. I have faith in them and the changes they are making, even when they're tough ones. The founders are such great guys and easily accessible to everyone in the company for a quick chat. The early founding engineers built an incredible product, which just keeps getting better. Frank is a no-nonsense guy, which I appreciate. Yes, his style is very different than our last CEO, but he's in it to win it. He's had to make some tough calls, but they seem to be in the best interest of the future of Snowflake. Yes, it's a start-up, but it's late-stage ... so if you're looking for that small, homey feeling of a small startup, look elsewhere. This place is growing fast, so it's natural for the culture to change too.

Cons

Location. Yes, it's right off the freeway and close to CalTrain, but it's in a dead neighborhood. Can't walk to restaurants. But free lunch is provided every day in consideration of this. Some of the older employees freely share their unhappiness for all the changes and new people coming in. I get it, but change is inevitable if we want to play in the big league. Work-life balance is not the best, but no one goes to a startup to work 9-5. I get it. If we do this right, there's a huge payoff.

Pros

I started recently. I've never seen anything like this place. It's wall to wall excellence. The company is amazingly transparent. All of the leadership I've met and experienced is first rate. The CEO is authentic, grounded, driven to win, and a clear communicator. People are smart, caring, and want to be the best. It's a rare workplace that can assemble this many great people. There is *genuine* care for customers (how rare is that) and a broad will to help each other. On top of all this, the product is amazing and a game changer. I am grateful to be here and to have the opportunity to make a difference.

Cons

Nothing worth mentioning.
