Pros

Snowflake offers numerous benefits, including excellent offices depending on your location. The product is constantly evolving, adapting to market needs, and introducing innovative ideas that redefine excellence in the data and analytics space. Particularly in Sales in Germany, there is a strong sense of camaraderie among colleagues, and recent adjustments are making a positive impact on success in the German market.

Cons

Some members of the current Sales Team in Germany lack experience, and individuals who consistently miss their targets without showing any willingness to put in extra effort are still being retained by the company. To achieve success, it requires motivated and ambitious people who focus on delivering results rather than complaining. Those unwilling to take their work seriously should be terminated promptly, as it is demotivating to work alongside individuals who lack commitment. As our CEO said, we need worriers.

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.
