Pros
-learned a lot -paid well -flexible vacation policy -became close with some of my team members
Cons
My team: -extreme micro management -terrible hours- most SDRs work 12 hour days and some brag about working weekends -poor culture: cold, aggressive -extremely difficult to hit quota. They were dishonest about this during the interview process -very poor promotion path. It is almost impossible to get promoted from an SDR to an AE. AEs here are in their 30s-50s, much more tenured, and hired from outside of the company 95% of the time Company as a whole: -essentially zero company perks. No commuter benefits, no gym reimbursement, no catered meals. SDR team got 1 lunch once a week. Perks may seem frivolous, but it really has an impact on the happiness of your employees. Investing in your people is essential, or they will leave -poor sense of community. Birst is very fragmented by their teams. I believe a big part of this is due to the fact that this is not a young company. The only young people here are on the SDR team. If you're looking for a young, fun startup to work at, this is not the place.
