Vantaggi
I joined Purus working in a large corporate environment just shy of 3 years. Purus are a certified Salesforce Partner based in the heart of Birmingham.
My initial fear of moving from 2000+ employees in a corporate environment to being the 4th employee of a start up was understandable prevalent. What if there’s not enough work to go around? What if I’m not challenged enough? And what if they cannot support my goals to be Salesforce certified?
I was very conscious about making the right move before leaving my previous role, and I am very happy to report my findings so far;
- You are beyond supported to achieve success, not to fail.
- I broke my ankle of my 3rd day of employment. This would have normally been a deal breaker for most employers. Both directors Leanne and Paul were nothing short of amazing in supporting my learning and making me feel part of the team, even if my first month was vastly remote.
- There are no corporate politics, which was a real breath of fresh air.
- Any training, courses, or Salesforce exams you feel will benefit you professionally will be paid for, without question. Your professional development comes first (this was mind-blowing for me…)
- You get exposure to a wide variety of Salesforce environments, across numerous domains, allowing you to learn a lot in a very short space of time.
- I’ve had the support, resource and training to complete my Salesforce Administrator certification within 2 months of joining (winning!!)
- New office in the centre of Birmingham, literally opposite New Street station
Svantaggi
- There are times when the business can be very quiet or very busy. All depends on requirements gathering from external stakeholders. Busy periods are great, you can crack on, never get bored and just power through. Quiet periods can be a little more challenging, but they’re pretty rare so take advantage of them by completing Trailheads/studying for your next exam.
- It’s hard work. There’s times you’ll be digging and scouring the internet to find answers to a problem you can’t solve. This isn’t a con for me, but I appreciate this may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
- I literally cannot think of any others.
