Pluspunten

The company is moving out of growth into operational mode and has been for some time. This brings about different behaviours and leadership. I'd say it really depends what you want out of a role. If you like a very micro-managed, regimented sales culture, you'll like it here. If not, you'll hate it. The product works great and is constantly being innovated on, never had a client complain or leave due to product. The issues at this company really stem from internal systems and teams as they have not scaled at the same pace as the sale organization. There are some good leaders and many not good - I'd say that's the biggest thing which will dictate your experience at Snowflake. Comp in the plans is below average and the bigger play was the Pre-IPO options which are mostly gone now.

Minpunten

Tons of broken systems and processes, worse than I've experienced at other unicorn rocketships. Sales Operations is completely overwhelmed, lots of that responsibility ends up on the sales reps which distracts from the core job. Many new inexperienced leaders have been brought in who don't understand the data space or the product at all - they just parrot those above. Comp is weak compared to industry and they've really started to reduce spending across the board (which I guess is natural) but no in-person SKO, cheap marketing events etc. etc.

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.
