Technical debt, toil abound, and poor eng leadership from non-technical middle managers - Avis employé Senior Software Engineer Snowflake

its Been good so far

nothing too bad yet man

Compensation is the only thing they do right

Snowflake could learn something from Microsoft’s recent voluntary buyout of older workers. Instead, they make up bogus performance issues with their ridiculous quarterly review process. Manager’s flat out lie in these reviews and HR refuses to investigate. Instead of owning burnt sales territories and working on solutions for the field, they point fingers at individual performers. They allow management to flat out lie. Even support staff (solutions engineering) are not safe from these toxic tactics. Principal engineers with multiple years of excellence with the company are let go because of their age. The real need to layoff is hidden… broken territories and toxic management.
