Pros
I've only been here a month and it already feels like a family. I've worked at tech companies for more than five years and have never seen such a nurturing and hard working environment. Competition is not toxic here as it is in most start-up sales cultures, it's a motivator. We're all in this together.
The executive team and leadership teams at all levels are very collaborative and decisions are rarely made without consideration of all perspectives. There is no ego at BirdEye and it's the reason we're going to succeed. The product is great, has little competition, and has clear value. The fact we have sustained our growth on pure inbound leads and we're just at the beginning, should tell you that big things are coming.
I read a few reviews that said we're not offering training and support for Sales and this is just the byproduct of growing a sales team quickly. However, this has been recognized and we're already fixing that. We now offer a full Sales Academy and Continual Learning Program that will ensure all reps hit the ground running -- confident and prepared from day one, and that everyone else has the resources and tools they need to succeed.
Plus, if you're a woman in the tech world (especially Sales) you know how hard it is to feel heard and represented. This is not an issue here. BirdEye makes sure that everyone has a voice. The entire leadership team for one segment of the Sales org is even all female. If you've even slightly payed attention to the News, you know how rare that is! Opportunities for leadership exist for anyone, no matter who they are. It's one of the reasons I'm proud to work here.
Also free gym & lunch on Fridays
Cons
- The Dallas office is in Irving
- No free snacks/drinks
- Not enough social outings (though I think this is changing)
