Pros

The people here are awesome - everyone is friendly, open to helping you learn, and accepting of feedback. Great flexibility with work schedules. Management understands that life happens. We have the amenities you'd expect from a start up - snacks, drinks i.e. cold brew and kombucha on tap, catered lunch, EAT club, foosball, basketball, etc. Health benefits are 100% covered. CalTrain is covered, and we're located right by the station.

Cons

We are growing FAST, and with that comes a need for adaptability. Things literally can change at any moment as we are trying to iron out processes to scale with our growth. With that said, you have to be extremely proactive in asking for help / updates from others. -New hire training isn't really set in place all across the board. -No 401k match.

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.
