      Do yourself a favor and move on - not all that it appears to be

      Pros

      You get to work with some of the best engineers in the Valley but other than that, there really isn't much going for the company. The teams are all mediocre at best, and your standing in the company is based on politics.

      Cons

      Too many to share. 1) Political; 2) Low-pay, little equity; 3) Very little upward mobility; 4) Backstabbing galore; 5) Incompetent management, employees; 6) Lack of product innovation

      Challenging, Exciting, Rewarding

      Pros

      No matter where you are in your career, fresh out of college or have years of experience, Sales at Snowflake is challenging, exciting and rewarding!! Taking this one step further, the Corporate Sales team is all of that, X 100. The job is not easy, it's hard work NO JOKE, but if working hard, staying curious and continually learning something new about yourself, selling effectively and technology is something you like, this is probably the most exciting and rewarding job you'll have in your career. As someone that didn't come from the industry, learning our product, the competition/industry landscape and finding prospective customers was very difficult - I probably thought of quitting at least once a day, but what kept me going was the people and the support they showed me during my first few months at the job. The direct managers in the CAE team are smart, both emotionally and intellectually and will push you to find your strengths, weaknesses, and encourage you to focus on your strengths. The VP is my favorite part of the org because he is personally invested in his reps growth and success, which sometimes means showing us "tough love". If you do care about being part of an organization that is growing faster than any other org both within and outside of the company, the CAE team is the right team for you - but keep in mind that you will have to deliver quality work, it's hard work and requires a commitment to learning and growing daily, and if you do so, success is guaranteed!

      Cons

      Since everyone has a unique and different experience, depending on personalities & backgrounds, I will write about my own journey being on the CAE team at Snowflake. This job is not for Sales Reps that are looking for "easy money" - Being a successful rep in the CAE team comes with hard work, consistency, patience, and persistence. This is the type of job that will make everything else you've done in the past look easy, but that's why becoming successful here is so much more rewarding and exciting. It's the type of hard work that when you look back you will say: It was all worth it. Work/life balance can be challenging at times if you don't prioritize but it is not impossible with the benefits that are offered. Catered lunch, healthy snacks, gym right here on the campus, recently mental health benefits and flexibility with hours and "working from home" option if needed.

      - Cloud vendor competition getting more problematic - Too many sales people that don't come close to their number - Backstabbing and politics galore.
