Pros

Hybrid, though that somewhat might be changing given the scare tactics.

Cons

If you’re considering a role in Field Marketing at Snowflake, I strongly encourage you to ask tough questions during the interview process. The team environment is extremely toxic, where preferential treatment is given based on tenure rather than merit. If you challenge leadership with an alternative viewpoint, there’s a strong likelihood of retaliation—either through exclusion or eventual termination. Fear and panic drive daily operations, with no clear strategy for long-term growth initiatives. The New York office, in particular, stands out for its disorganization, arrogance, and a cutthroat culture. Collaboration is nonexistent, and rather than fostering teamwork, the atmosphere is competitive in the worst way—cliquish, catty, and riddled with internal power struggles. There is a distinct lack of leadership, and strategic direction is nonexistent, with constant reorganization—the team has seen countless changes over the past year alone, with no vision in place for the next. Compensation is also a major issue. Compared to industry standards, Snowflake’s Field Marketing team is significantly underpaid, making it a less attractive option compared to similar roles at competing companies. Additionally, diversity and inclusion (DEI) efforts are practically nonexistent, as reflected in the team's lack of representation. This, in itself, speaks volumes about the company’s priorities when it comes to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. If you are interviewing for this team, I highly advise you to ask about turnover rates, long-term strategic plans, and team culture. The answers (or lack thereof) will likely confirm the concerns outlined here. Proceed with caution.

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.
