Is Anyone Still Steering the Ship? - Anonymous employee Snorkel AI Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to write this out in detail. There's a lot here, and I won't try to address every point in a reply, but I do want to acknowledge the through-line: that the pivot has been hard on people, that we've lost talent we valued, and that leadership has not always shown up the way we should have. Those are important things to address. The departures are real, and I won't pretend otherwise. We have experienced a lot of attrition during this strategic shift over the last six months. Snorkel is not the company now that it was when many employees started, and we won’t always find alignment during this kind of change. But we are building, hiring and growing in an aligned direction now, and are welcoming amazing new talent to the team every week. On work-life balance, we've heard this consistently and it's something we are actively working on. I won’t defend it, but I will say we are committed to improvement. On accountability and clarity of vision, those are the harder ones, and I take them seriously. Communicating is not a substitute for being clear about where we're going, and we owe employees both. If you're open to it, I would value a confidential conversation about what you saw in your time here - please reach out if you’d like to chat - liz.sweet@snorkel.ai. - Liz Sweet, Chief People Officer
