Pros
To aspiring sales professionals wanting to start their tech sales careers at Snowflake, I would recommend to avoid this company like the plague. They treat their SDRs like disposable garbage. The "new" SDR Director E.S. based in San Mateo is ruthless, heartless & calculated (despite her initial impression). She just “laid off” all the Bellevue SDRs/managers because she wanted to be closer to everyone to manage (no severance). There's a chance she'll do the same in other offices. She will lie to you, and she will make you believe she is looking out for you. All tenured SDR management have been fired/quit after hiring that SDR Director. Promotions are nonexistent from SDR to an inside seller/AE role despite what leadership tells you (especially in Bellevue/San Mateo). The VP of CAE L.Y. dislikes SDRs & has pushed CAE management to recruit sellers externally rather than internally promote, which has stalled SDR promos. SDRs stay for +2 years hoping they will get promoted only to learn L.Y. isn’t interested in interviewing SDR candidates. There are so many Snowflake competitors that pay SDRs 2x Snow’s salary, give them much more respect, and provide more opportunities to grow their careers. Do your long term career a favor, and don’t waste your time at Snowflake.
Cons
Cons - No career growth opportunities - Hire to fire boiler room sales culture - Poor SDR leadership
