Pros

Middle level management is great. Team is overall very helpful. Good product to sell. Fully remote.

Cons

Salary + commission isn’t the best. Upper leadership has crazy expectations/quota is over inflated. Part of your quota is MRR, which as an SDR you don’t really have control over, but negatively impacts you if you don’t hit it. Also, prepare to be on the phones all day everyday.

Pros

Remote culture, good team, interesting product, competitive salary

Cons

Sometimes the communication between teams could be better, and onboarding documentation can be more detailed. But nothing that is dealbreaker.

Pros

Remote work, good pto, pay is not bad.

Cons

The targets are extremely difficult to hit, and if you don't hit them, they'll put you on a PIP quicker than you can blink. You're also graded on Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), even though your sole responsibility is booking meetings for Account Executives.
