Snowflake WLB

How is the work life balance at Snowflake? Especially compared to FAANG companies. Any risks of long hours? Thanks.

Snowflake slimcncn Feb 12, 2023

My team is 50-60 hr/week mostly

Meta Odeh Heavy OP Feb 12, 2023

What team is that if you don't mind me asking? Do you know if it's a thing (cultural) across the company to put more hours in?

How's performance evaluation compared to PSC?

Meta mh-baara Feb 12, 2023

Pretty bad from what I hear

Snowflake 232 Feb 12, 2023

Not too bad but not easy. It's definitely not a rest and vest company, but management tries to promote reasonable WLB. I work a full 40 hour week.

Meta Odeh Heavy OP Feb 12, 2023

I believe Meta is not a rest and west company as well based on my experience :) Sounds pretty similar to me, thank you for your reply!

Does Snowflake hire cleared SWEs?

Meta Odeh Heavy OP Feb 12, 2023

Is there anything special about Cleared SWEs? Are you looking for specific positions in this case? Just asking out of curiosity

Microsoft lfhf06 Feb 12, 2023

Just that they have a clearance. That means citizen, no drugs, clean lifestyle etc etc. Cleared positions are typically harder to hire for since it requires the clearance, so there is often a bonus attached to it.

50+ hours/week

Meta Odeh Heavy OP Feb 12, 2023

Any work on weekends? Is it common across the company?

Hey @postipo2, would I be able to ask you for a referral. I am applying for sales engineering role, and I really would like to get it. I’m a software engineer at the moment, but I just don’t enjoy what I’m doing anymore. I just need to get my foot in the door, and any help would be really appreciated.
