Pros

High Energy, focused on getting (the right) stuff done, high caliber team, extremely customer focused.

Cons

Lots of new people showing up each week means that you kind of need to find a desk and figure out how to be useful. The field group seems well organized with training and onboarding - but other groups need people to be productive very quickly. I think that's great, but it can be intimidating.

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
