We’re sure you’ve heard the saying before: there’s nothing more important than family. And at the end of the day, it’s true. Regardless of what you do for work, during your spare time, and the decisions you make—one thing always remains a constant: your family. In the world we live in, you need modern solutions to fit your needs as you build and care for your families—solutions that are comprehensive, flexible, and easily accessible. We’re committed to providing world-class resources for you and yours, which is why we’ve launched a flurry of family-friendly benefits designed to support your family and meet your needs.
Without further ado, we’re excited to introduce your modern family benefits!
Maven: your one-stop shop for personalized family support and parenthood
Parents around the world will tell you this: it can be challenging. So since we know it’s a challenge, why not get some support to help you along the way? Meet Maven, your new partner in your parenting journey and your one-stop shop for family support. No matter where you are on your journey—from planning your family future to returning to work after pregnancy—Maven can provide significant support to empower you and help you succeed. Members get personal access to top-rated practitioners through on-demand virtual appointments—we’re talking prenatal nutritionists, reproduction experts, OB-GYNs, lactation consultants, and even career coaches—so you can get expert advice at every stage of your journey, whenever you need it. You’ll also be assigned a designated care advocate, who provides one-on-one support to help answer your questions, connect you with the right providers, and offer referrals. Perhaps what separates Maven from similar programs is its return-to-work and career coaching. Did you know that two in every five new mothers leave the workforce? Without the right support, balancing work and your new family life can be difficult, but Maven’s coaching program will help you prepare and empower you to succeed when you’re ready to return to work.
Snowflake employees and their partners get full Maven membership access at no cost. Visit the Maven page to learn more about the program and discover all it has to offer during every stage of your family journey:

Adoption and surrogacy program
Snowflake understands that families grow in a variety of ways, including through adoption or surrogacy. To assist employees with building their family through adoption or surrogacy, Snowflake provides financial support to help you pay for certain related expenses. If you welcome a new child into your family through adoption or surrogacy, you may be eligible for reimbursement of qualified expenses up to $10,000 USD or the local market equivalent. Once the adoption or surrogacy is finalized, you can apply for reimbursement, which must be done within six months of the finalization. You can apply for this reimbursement a lifetime maximum of two times during your employment at Snowflake.
Visit the dedicated page to learn more about the program, including an overview of eligible expenses, steps on how to apply for the reimbursement, and more.
Parental Leave
Spending time to care for and bond with your new child is important. To ensure you get the most out of this precious time, make sure you take advantage of Snowflake’s Parental Leave policy. Additionally, you can use this paid leave for the delivery of your child, and the policy is also applicable to children brought into your home through adoption or foster placement. Birthing parents are eligible for up to 26 weeks of paid parental leave, including pregnancy disability time off for delivery and recovery, plus time off for baby bonding. Non-birthing parents are eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave.
Baby gift
When you add to your family, we consider it an addition to our family. To help you celebrate your newest arrival, Snowflake will send you a box of Snowflake “baby swag” when you welcome a new child into the family. The box of swag includes a stuffed polar bear, a blanket, a Snowflake onesie, a Snowflake bib, and a pair of Snowflake socks. For your child to be eligible for this gift, you must have been a Snowflake employee when the baby joined your family, and the date of birth, adoption, or foster placement must have been on or after January 1, 2020.
