Pros

Decent salary and benefits. Paid parking.

Cons

Absorb in Calgary used to be a fun place to work at until a year ago, that is not the case anymore. The product development team grew too fast. Management introduced new changes or policies every few weeks. They stopped listening to developers' concerns. They tell us that leadership will listen to your concerns but that is just lip service. As a team lead I try to approach the director to address some issues brought to me. Nothing ever happens, often things get worse for the person. They get labelled as complainer. As a result there is a very high turnover at Absorb. Many left in 2018 including the dev manager and several team leads. Recently there was a negative review on Glassdoor. Instead of looking into the issue the leadership got frustrated and asked employees to go on Glassdoor and write positive reviews. I don't recommend working at Absorb. Things are messy. Don't waste your time.

Pros

I’ve been working as an SDR at Absorb LMS for about three months now, and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Coming into my first role in tech sales, I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially after hearing how challenging and sometimes discouraging others’ first experiences can be, but this has been the complete opposite. I’ve been able to ramp up much faster than I anticipated, and a huge part of that comes down to the support system here. The managers and my colleagues are incredibly approachable and genuinely invested in helping each other succeed. It’s a very comfortable environment where asking for help or guidance is encouraged, not judged, and that’s allowed me to grow and improve at a much faster pace. In just a short time, I’ve already seen strong personal progress, and it’s equally motivating to see others on my team achieving success as well. That shared momentum creates a really energizing atmosphere where everyone is pushing to get better and celebrating each other’s wins along the way. One thing that really stands out is how much the company values performance and recognizes achievements. Wins, big or small, are acknowledged and celebrated in a way that keeps you motivated and striving to maintain that level of success. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction into tech sales. This role has not only been a great learning experience but also a very encouraging one. It’s given me confidence in my ability to grow within this field, and I’m excited to continue developing my skills and eventually work toward becoming an AE.

Cons

Currently don't have any cons.
