      Our Snowflake future is so bright

      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.

      Smoke and Mirrors

      Pros

      Great product, burgeoning partner program.

      Cons

      No one is making their numbers. Sales territories over-saturated. In 2018, there were several management changes made- some only on-board for less than a year. This confusion trickled down to the sales teams and lots of people "sleeping with one eye open." Not fun anymore. Not what it used to be in 2016-2017. Everyone is coming on board waiting for a big Exit but in reality, they have taken on so much funding that the equity packages are small and very diluted at this point. Only the early employees (pre-2016) are going to make big money via IPO or acquisition.
