Pros

1. Great people 2. Great systems in place 3. Great enablement 4. Great work life balance for hard workers 5. People who are hungry and have a drive to be successful, may have the opportunity of advancing being dangled in their face and then not followed through on and being let go. Great company to work for. Unfortunately some questionable leadership decisions led to a lot of good talent being canned. Seems to be the normal now a days.

Cons

1. Sketchy with layoffs now. I was a top performer and had my position eliminated 2. No more SDR org 3. Questionable leadership decisions recently

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.
