Pros

Compensation is very good, base + RSUs. Product is transformative and customers overall are happy with it. Company is constantly improving the product and adding new features.

Cons

I feel like the company is undergoing a phase of intense pressure to keep up the image of high growth for the stock market. There is a lot of pressure on the sales side to acquire new customers and to greatly increase consumption on the installed accounts. This pressure is causing a lot of extra work and low tolerance for failure on the sales organization. My onboarding to Snowflake was disjointed and I cycled through a variety of managers over a year's time. The ongoing battle between Snowflake and Databricks can feel like a schoolyard fight at times and can lead to sudden shifts in company priorities.

Pros

Snowflake has been my work-home for 4 years. I got in pre-IPO and stayed because we have a great product and a very versatile vision. The people who work here are passionate and some have become good friends over the years. Even if we were remote, we had ambitious goals, deadlines, and met them all. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and am hesitant to leave.

Cons

Sales enablement has changed since 2020. We have a new leader that pretends to be collaborative but in the end it is a "my way or the highway" mentality. They come off as joyful but don't practice what they preach. I'll admit, I am a little bitter in this situation. I filled a function for many years here but then because of new leadership and the direction they would like to go I went from a high performer with tons of praise to the absolute rock bottom with awful performance metrics. If you are looking for a sales enablement home, don't come here. The work is challenging, but the deadlines are insane for absolutely no reason and you will be put into a box that needs to conform or else.

Pros

Not everyone is awful, it's just a few bad apples who are allowed to run wild.

Cons

Individual managers are deeply toxic and awful, and are allowed to be that way by upper management. No constructive feedback. Territories dictate success to a massive degree.
