Vantaggi

- Great product. Best-in-class for what we aim to do. - Good pay and benefits (even though they're about to cut free food. The bonus structure more than makes up for it) - $30 to cover your cell phone, $30 to cover internet (it's little, but not all companies pay!) - Lots of amazing, smart, humble colleagues still (more on this below) - Great DEI programs - You can learn a lot, very quickly here if you put your mind to it.

Svantaggi

- It's becoming very corporate. - Senior management can be completely clueless. Those who execute are not rewarded. You're rewarded for calling meetings, presenting, and having good "meeting presence" - Layoffs and budget cuts are the norm in this climate. But don't continue raising goals. - It's easy to burn out here - Naturally, people leave post-IPO. However, they're getting replaced with fancier titles who cost 2x, with less experience. WHY? - Your experience depends on your manager. Bad manager? No promos, raises, or bonuses for you, no matter what. - Far too many meetings (again, too corporate) - It's all about optics. Good speakers and presenters will be rewarded over hard workers and executors.

Vantaggi

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Svantaggi

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
