Pros

You will be selling an excellent product at a fast-growing company and there is also a lot of great senior leadership at the C level.

Cons

Snowflake has a cutthroat sales culture that is very difficult to survive in. There are a lot of salespeople and your success will largely depend on the account list you inherit. The golden age to join Snowflake was between 2016 and 2019. It gets more and more difficult to get promoted now and you most likely will be working for someone who succeeded in a much bigger territory with a much easier number to hit. In some cases, some of the leadership doesn't have a damn clue how to sell Snowflake. Nowadays most reps come closer to 50% of quota AT BEST through upselling existing customers that they were lucky enough to inherit. The reality is that you will not be getting paid enough to assume the amount of stress you will take on to hit your number at Snowflake.
