Snowflake pays in full for basic life and basic AD&D cover in the US, each worth 2x salary up to $1,000,000. Voluntary buy-up cover is available in $10,000 increments up to the lesser of 5x earnings or $500,000.

401(k) / Retirement Plan

Equity / RSUs

Eligible new hires receive an equity grant, with restricted stock units vesting over four years at 25% per year and then quarterly.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

PTO / Vacation

Paid time off is flexible rather than accrued, so there is no set balance to track. Employees coordinate time away with their manager ahead of time and are expected to balance it against their responsibilities and team needs.

Paid Holidays

Snowflake observes 13 annual holidays in the US.

Sick Days

Full-time exempt employees in the US take sick time as they need it, while non-exempt employees accrue 2.77 hours each pay period. Absences of more than five consecutive sick days move to a medical leave of absence.
