Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances

Bottom Line
Snowflake
Snowflake — check Glassdoor for detailed reviews.
Supabase
Egoless, fully remote culture with just one meeting per week and extreme autonomy — but the relentless shipping pace means work-life balance takes a hit.
