Pros
- Great group of coworkers who genuinely want to see each other succeed and support one another and try to help each other out - Get to gain valuable skills - The culture in the greater org seems to be strong (not something seen in the BDR org)
Cons
- No opportunity for career growth mapped out - Very much a boys club, leadership wise, with little to no diversity represented - Competing against products with way higher name recognition in an over saturated market with no true differentiating factors - Direct mgmt uses scare tactics to shame those who have left for better opportunities and to try to retain current employees - Tons of micro management and lack of trust from direct management. Constantly being told "leadership is watching" - Low base pay that is not competitive with other tech companies that Freshworks strives to be like - No opportunity to network with other teams/areas of the business - Very high turnover rate with more tenured people leaving for way better paying jobs - Quota is difficult to achieve - Taught cold call strategy that is the opposite of what industry experts recommend and teach
