Pros

Great coworkers, a great product to sell, and some managers are fantastic

Cons

Despite the changes Brian has made to the BDR org, a lot still needs to change. - Overly reliant on your AEs to hit quota and promo - Some managers and upper leadership are borderline incompetent - If you get placed in Corp, you are screwed. (tough to hit quota and promote) - Even though they claim to care about Heart and culture, BDRs are treated poorly, a big reputation for burnout.

Thanks for the feedback--we've seen the overall BDR experience go up a lot under Brian's leadership, but I appreciate the clarity and specificity of your pushes. We'll keep working to improve and evolve as we grow, thanks for sharing! -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
