      Do yourself a favor and move on - not all that it appears to be

      Pros

      You get to work with some of the best engineers in the Valley but other than that, there really isn't much going for the company. The teams are all mediocre at best, and your standing in the company is based on politics.

      Cons

      Too many to share. 1) Political; 2) Low-pay, little equity; 3) Very little upward mobility; 4) Backstabbing galore; 5) Incompetent management, employees; 6) Lack of product innovation

      Pros

      The product is amazing without a doubt. Going to be a lot of money for people after IPO The company is full of energetic and motivated people (mostly) There is actually an office culture that's not too corny, and filled with young people Lunch everyday Tons of enablement material

      Cons

      With a company growing at unnatural levels like Snowflake is, it takes leadership who knows how to lead talented employees without needing to leverage the hype around this company. The culture has become way more toxic than it was just a couple of years ago. High expectations with only so much to work with, and if you feel like an outcast if you don't drink the kool-aid. Though, this is typical for majority of Silicon Valley companies. The company has clearly been doing amazing sales-wise. Before, it was basically like printing money for the number of reps available. With the team growing larger every quarter and territories getting tighter, management needs to actually MANAGE now **shivers**. Also, compensation was not what I expected at all (very low). I would advise you to look past the hype of this company. Interview and get a feel for it, but understand that there are plenty of startups just as good as Snowflake...and paying better money as well.
