Pros

Some nice people, good pay check. The (used-to-be) 7 h working day/ 35 h working week was nice. CEO is a nice guy.

Cons

Diversity is an issue at the company. Racism seems to have the upper hand among a lot of people. White people will ALWAYS have the priority over others when promotions are considered, regardless of experience or competences. Some people just cannot help it and that is a fact. The number of non-white people who are in a top managerial role is... ZERO (NONE). The number of non-white people who are leading teams is one out of at least 12 teams and that one leads a crappy project that no one wants to lead. I've seen people leaving the company cause they did not get their chance simply because of their skin colour. Unfortunately, upper management does not recognize that all employees what keeps the company running and money coming in, and yet they're completely unsympathetic to the toxic work environment they've created. Some team leaders are better managers of the work than senior managers, which results in big variations in team cultures from one project to another. There is absolutely no room to voice concerns and anyone who does speak up or dares to have an opinion is labeled difficult and promptly targeted/pushed out. For a lot of people, no room for growth, lay-offs last year were unexpected. The senior management is disconnected from the other company and are especially dismissive of concerns. Neither of them deign to interact with anyone below their level, and internal communications from them are shameful and gross.

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.
