I left after 6 years. Drank from the kool aid too. Still definitely a great company to work for but management has gotten a lot worse with promotions and playing favors that it turned me off and I left.

SNOW is also a great company to work for. Feels a bit like a startup and we’re growing. Met a few SF alumni’s as well.

I’m considering leaving too. It’s not what I imagined it to be. So much drinking the Kool Aid like many others have shared. Not even sure at times how some get promoted too. Seems like it’s really based on who you know. And can’t believe the type of projects they sell here…
