Snowflake of yore is no more.

Business Outlook

Pros

Innovative company with a consistently dwindling store of awesome people. It was awesome and now, not so much.

Cons

This is not the same Snowflake of a year ago. New leadership is not what the previous positive reviews reflect. Service Now cronyism is rampant and not the best and the brightest by any means. Buyer beware. Do not join! It’s a place for current leadership to align numbers and flip for investors, squeeze people for all they can get and really only care about the short term.
