Amazing Company - Just avoid being an SDR here
Pros
- Amazing people - Great culture - Best-in-class training - If you're entry-level and looking for your first SDR/BDR role, I can't recommend starting off with Demandbase enough; because you'll learn some very useful skills that will get you very far in tech sales - All of the SDR Managers are fun to be around, genuinely great people, and really care about you. - I made lifelong friends here, and most people who come on board do too.
Cons
- It's really hard to get promoted beyond SDR here, and that's not at the company's fault. - It's just an extremely competitive industry so Demandbase and most other companies in Martech hire seasoned vets for AE, CSM, and Account Manager roles (versus promoting an SDR's) - Far too many talented hardworkers got stuck as SDR's for 3 years here. - Which in a lot of ways, is worth it because the training and culture here is so good (best in class I'd say), but being an SDR for 3 years is a very serious backlog in your career and financial development. - Again, the managers are very amazing people and this problem is out of their control. At the drop of a hat, they will do everything in their power to help you succeed. - So if you're young, working here isn't a bad idea but you need to be able to afford the possibility of being an SDR for longer than what is usual.
