Vantaggi

Compensation Great Founders Good benefits Work travel opportunities Some great people that are enjoyable to work with. Can make an impact on the organisation.

Svantaggi

Executive team are underqualified and are steering the company in missing conservative targets each quarter. Leaders in charge of the BDR function have never done BDR before and so don't know the needs for it to be successful. When leadership make a decision, you will not be consulted, nor will they be receptive to feedback. Targets have been increased across the whole sales function to be unrealistic. Top performers in BDR will not be given autonomy to do their jobs. There is no progression pathway in place for them either. There is a sales progression plan where you achieve 'automatic promotion'. When you speak to the people who have been promoted and put into different market segments, they wish they never had done. Displays a faulty system they are unwilling to change. Leadership executives have favorite employees in their departments. So be prepared for unequal treatment that you will not be able to shift even with performance. Leadership has a habit of firing employees to use them as scapegoats for their poor mismanagement of functions. Many firings were not given warning or put on a performance plan before it happened. No talent nurturing. No investment made in your development bar the education fund. If you want to learn new skills you will have to go out and develop them yourselves. Some managers are inauthentic.

Vantaggi

The people are hands down the reason I get up every day and enjoy what I do. They are collaborative and operate with a team first mentality - we operate with the assumption of good intent which creates psychological safety within the organization. With this foundation, we enable a culture of innovation, growth mindset, and authenticity. My second favorite thing about Affinity is the lack of "red tape" - if you can dream it and your team has the resource for it, you likely can embark on project to take your function, team, and company to the next level! Given this, I think it's a great place to grow and develop.

Svantaggi

Given the lack of red tape, we can benefit with more documented processes. This is a work in progress and we are making great headway in this area, but a heads up that there's still work to be done to codify our processes. Second, not necessarily a con but a heads up, given the nature of being a Saas based company in an ever evolving space, things can change, and quite quickly. Being able to handle the plot twists will go a long way at Affinity.

Vantaggi

Affinity is one of those rare companies where the culture matches the pitch. From day one, the collaborative environment is evident, teams genuinely work together, share wins, and support each other's growth. There's no cutthroat competition between reps; instead, leadership fosters a team-first mentality where everyone's success is celebrated. Compensation is competitive and structured fairly, with clear OTE targets and realistic quotas that reward strong performance. When the team overachieves -- and this team does -- it's recognized and rewarded. The benefits package is excellent as well, covering health, dental, and vision with strong employer contributions, and there are additional perks that show the company genuinely thinks about employee wellbeing beyond just the paycheck. One of the standout aspects is the career development culture. There are real, defined pathways for growth -- BDRs aren't left wondering if there's a future here. Leadership actively invests in coaching, call reviews, and one-on-ones that are actually meaningful rather than just going through the motions. If you put in the work, the trajectory is there. The product itself also makes selling easier. Affinity solves a real problem for a sophisticated buyer base, and it's easy to believe in what you're selling — which makes a huge difference in motivation and authenticity on calls.

Svantaggi

Like any growing company, there are moments where processes are still being built out, but leadership is extremely transparent about that and actively working to improve.
