Snowflake

Fast-growing exposure to good projects. Amazing people; get to work with pretty awesome founders.

Think twice if you are joining Zheng Mi’s org. The only way he manages people is by managing them out. He is too political and never gives constructive feedback or helps you grow in your career. Whenever you talk to him about promotions, he starts talking about how good he was and how he grew into his role. He thinks he is superior, and his performance reviews are purely based on his personal bias. Speaking of biases, he makes impressions on his reportees, and the curse will follow throughout their careers. He has made his career at Snowflake only by playing politics and talking behind your back. During quarterly feedback, he says only good things and stalls promotions. Unless you are joining Zheng Mi’s org, it is a great company to work for.

Please revamp performance management, especially in engineering organizations.
