Pros

good pay and benefits with solid PTO. A diverse group of people who like the work they are doing.

Cons

Within the first month I was written up because someone said I wore a bathrobe in an internal meeting. I don’t own a bathrobe. Admit they are building the airplane as they go along . Was thrown on a project that was a dead end. Put in new territory with new leadership who won’t acknowledge you even if you walk up and ask to shake their hand. Toxic AE’s who micromanage and bully, and its on you to act professional. Manager’s toolbox is gaslighting.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
