Pros

Hybrid, though that somewhat might be changing given the scare tactics.

Cons

If you’re considering a role in Field Marketing at Snowflake, I strongly encourage you to ask tough questions during the interview process. The team environment is extremely toxic, where preferential treatment is given based on tenure rather than merit. If you challenge leadership with an alternative viewpoint, there’s a strong likelihood of retaliation—either through exclusion or eventual termination. Fear and panic drive daily operations, with no clear strategy for long-term growth initiatives. The New York office, in particular, stands out for its disorganization, arrogance, and a cutthroat culture. Collaboration is nonexistent, and rather than fostering teamwork, the atmosphere is competitive in the worst way—cliquish, catty, and riddled with internal power struggles. There is a distinct lack of leadership, and strategic direction is nonexistent, with constant reorganization—the team has seen countless changes over the past year alone, with no vision in place for the next. Compensation is also a major issue. Compared to industry standards, Snowflake’s Field Marketing team is significantly underpaid, making it a less attractive option compared to similar roles at competing companies. Additionally, diversity and inclusion (DEI) efforts are practically nonexistent, as reflected in the team's lack of representation. This, in itself, speaks volumes about the company’s priorities when it comes to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. If you are interviewing for this team, I highly advise you to ask about turnover rates, long-term strategic plans, and team culture. The answers (or lack thereof) will likely confirm the concerns outlined here. Proceed with caution.

Pros

Flexibility of working remotely for remote workers, reimbursement for cell phone and gym expenses (remote workers). Pay is decent. Company viability seems relatively good.

Cons

Company culture and morale tanked when the current ELT came onboard. Strong surveillance culture, shady communication, sneaky layoffs are becoming a new norm with this ELT. Opportunities for career growth are much more limited now. Benefits are getting cut - “unlimited PTO” is limited, reduced company holidays. Stock based compensation is stingy at best. Even as a top performer , don’t count on getting equity refreshes or raises. Intent on replacing humans with AI vs augmenting human work with AI.
