Hi Team, got a reach out from my previous manager for ‘cloud provisioning team’ in Snowflake Bellevue. Currently have Databricks & Meta offer already. Any pointers if ‘Cloud Provisioning Service’ team had good/bad culture?(Is it even worth interviewing) Teams at DB & Meta are not bad, but not industry leading as well. DB offer-510k(senior software engineer) Meta offer-430k (E5 - senior) Yoe-8(Google,MS, Hubspot)
Last I heard it’s super heavy on tech debt and lot of ops work. It’s an okay team to be in but I don’t really know how bad the WLB is
Thanks for the reply. Do you know if tech debt / ops work is considered as impact in snowflake? For example in Meta no one cares about them in PSC, but in Google a swe can survive fine by improving tech debt/ops for years.
Tech debt is rewarding if your manager and everyone in your org thinks it will pave the way for a better product down the line. Because we have a quarterly performance review, most people do the least amount of work that can be shown as “”impact””…without thinking long term fallouts of a bad engineering decision. Remember that IC3 is considered a terminal level at Snowflake so if you get ME on all quarters, you’ll be fine
What was your level in hubspot?
Sswe2
Mind telling about hubspot refresher and your current TC. I am an sswe2 but my stocks are expiring wondering if I should switch or does hubspot give good refreshers?
Hmm we like to compete with databricks you might get similar comp but with liquid stock
Mostly a new team at this point. New leads seem strong but still adapting to SF
Any idea about if people are overworked? 9-9-6?
I do t know, but I really doubt it. Ask them?
Manager is good and experienced. Team is friendly. Recommend.
Any challenges regarding tech debt?
