Pros

Decent product Recognizable brand Good health insurance

Cons

Thrown into online training with zero support from the get-go, my manager spent maybe an hour or two with me over three months. I was fired two months after getting accounts because leadership decided “there wasn’t enough time left in the year to catch up.” My manager admitted he had no closing experience before Snowflake and lied in his interview, then bragged about scamming the company’s travel system to pocket money. Coaching? Nonexistent. The culture felt more like a frat house than a professional workplace. At SKO, it was obvious: ~90% of the org is male, with most women in entry-level roles. Promotions seem more about connections than capability. Our RVP tried to motivate the team with a frosted-tips bet—I'm in sales to grow revenue, not watch a midlife crisis unfold. Heard multiple stories of reps being screamed at in QBRs and leaving in tears. This didn't seem isolated. Bottom line: If you're a frat bro with light ethics, you’ll thrive. If you’re a woman with ambition and a backbone, run.

Pros

The latest and greatest tech resources for engineers Lots of potential for growth

Cons

Pay is good, benefits are lacking. Like no 401k match, medical insurance is not included (they take out of your paycheck) Very cutthroat and high expectations from engineers
