Vantaggi

Great teammates, world-class product, increasing your market value if you want to sell in the “data” space

Svantaggi

One of the most absurdly mismanaged (major) sales orgs on the European continent. Senior VPs and managers who just rode the wave and got promoted when Snowflake was the “hot stuff” back in 2019-2021 due to the company’s technological leadership have limited intellectual abilities to comprehend that times change. These people have very little idea about how competitive the space has become since the “glory days”, in Europe specifically. About 1 in 5-6 sales reps hit quota but the ones that do walk away with 200-300%, so on average it looks alright. Most (70%+) reps end up within the 20-50% attainment range. The 3 T’s of territory, talent and timing absolutely apply here but you have to sit through QBRs where you have to pretend that absolutely everything can be controlled and sales performance only comes down to your cold calling and MEDDIC skills. It’s a great place if you are an SDR looking to slap the “AE stamp” onto your CV and move on but it’s an absolute joke of an org if you have any common sense, critical thinking skills and the desire make money.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
