Pros

I worked at Propeller for about 18 months, and loved every minute of it. The people are really down to earth and pragmatic, no egos or awkwardness. The company prides itself on hiring for diversity and as a result of this, you're met with this huge family of very unique quirky people who just seem to thrive because of the open culture. It's a really challenging industry, and the team are pushing the boundaries a lot, but it was always "us vs the problem". I think it's because everyone cares about the same thing - almost everyone talks to customers on a regular basis. Like, daily. They're mates. I can guarantee you'll be working with very smart people who learn and adapt fast, and you'll have fun (lots of events, amazing food). More than all of this, Propeller has a "cold fizzy water" tap in the kitchen - I miss that tap even more than I miss the team.

Cons

The Sales and Marketing teams are based in the US. So if you're in a role where you're going to need to work directly with those teams, make sure it fits well with your personal life (family, etc). As the organisation has grown, the chasm between the continents (and consequently Product<>GTM) seems to have been quite challenging. This improved a lot in the last 3 months of when I was there, after they consolidated the leadership team to C-Suites who could keep things tight.

Pros

The people at Propeller, especially on the frontline teams, are what make it worth showing up every day. Colleagues are hardworking, supportive, and passionate about what they do. Frontline managers go above and beyond despite little recognition from senior leadership. It’s a good entry-level spot if you’re looking to get your foot in the door, but if you’re serious about building meaningful SaaS experience, you’ll likely want to look elsewhere.

Cons

Compensation is far below market, especially given the demands of the role. The company enforces aggressive targets without offering bonus structures. Leadership seems either disengaged or focused on the wrong priorities. Systems are a mess—salespeople are asked to duplicate work across HubSpot, Gainsight, and endless spreadsheets that wastes time and kills productivity. There’s a clear gap in SaaS experience at the top, and it shows.
