Pluspunten

Rocket-ship of a company. The name “Snowflake” is very trendy so it’s not as difficult to sell. The product is solid and more of the Fortune 100 are giving in because of how well the platform runs. It just works. Lots of hard-working and intelligent employees. Most are incredibly ambitious. Great work culture (if you have the right manager and are a team player).

Minpunten

This is not the place for you if you aren’t self-directed and ambitious. Play the game bc promotions are not easy to come by for sales reps. Is this by design? Not sure but they need to fix that otherwise your talent will leave for better pastures. Speaking of…They struggle to keep their best talent in the org globally. Wild to see them bleed so many of their best performing SDRs. They need to focus on retaining their talent not just rapidly hiring new people to train. Next point - territory splits vary wildly. AEs may/may not enjoy their split because they’re used to having more accounts. Less accounts with a higher quota? Harder to exceed 150% and less payouts. Last time I checked the quota attainment hovered at 60% - could/should be a little higher for the product we’re selling tbh. Base compensation could be a lot higher too.

Pluspunten

The salary was competitive enough although you will never make your bonus because your patch is so poorly configured.

Minpunten

I observed the worst cronyism in my 40 year career. New sales manager completely overshot the quota and does zero research on the clients in the territory. This forces her account executive to leave. She continued demanding that the solutions engineering team make the revenue happen when all of the clients in the patch “she carved” were defunct and we’re not going to return the investment at that time or possibly even into the future. Did she own up to it? No she did not. She blamed the solutions engineer who was on federally protected leave. Her crony solutions engineering RVP jumped right in without doing any research or homework because he is her friend and he was also brand new to the job. Training wheels still on yet no humility and mowing people down. Unethical, lack of managerial accountability, and blame culture. HR is equally ridiculous as they just jump on the blame train and don’t do any homework even when the employee was on approved leave and had a great prior quarter before leave began. Yes the company approved the leave, and the managers disrespected the leave even when the employee worked through leave at the bedside of their relative. HR makes the person on leave the target instead of backing up and looking at why the quota was set, why these new inexperienced managers are allowed to torment solutions engineering resources. The answer is cronyism.
