the product is good and the workload is fine, but the 5th floor feels straight up disgusting. You constantly see BDRs going upstairs begging AEs for favors to get their opps pushed through. If that doesn’t work, they ask certain managers to leverage their personal relationships to get numbers altered. It’s very obvious that leverage is in play. If you don’t play that game, you’re screwed.
All the BDRs see it and talk about it. The whole environment feels gross and unfair.
