Pros

Snowflake Employees outside the SDR organization are amazing resources and are willing to invest in your career and help you.

Cons

This is a job where you have to give everything to the role and the company gives you nothing back in return. Leadership will tell you that there is a path to promotion but it is very rare. If you are interviewing ask how many people on their team have gotten promoted internally and how they are doing in the next role. The VP does not invest in his talent and would take zoom calls from their yacht. The in office environment is terrible. The directors do not make an effort to talk to the SDRs and coach them. Directors don’t even say good morning/hello/goodbye. They haven’t been AE’s themselves so are unable to provide valuable feedback on what it take to progress. If you are looking for true career development look elsewhere. Leaders/ managers are constantly changing making it very difficult to make any progress and have consistency.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
