Pros

-The managers of the sales team are empathetic, hardworking, and helpful. They are always there to encourage their team members and help in any way they can. -Good employee experience improved by managers despite remote work- always trying to improve camaraderie. -The platform itself is great and easy to authentically talk about its value. -Detailed and effective onboarding, great training team.

Cons

-The higherups never interact with the lower level employees so there is little transparency: lay offs, changing pay and commission plans, changing role responsibilities and descriptions constantly. -Constant pressure to hit quotas, despite extremely high number of accounts... but very unequal distribution of accounts as well (some SDRs have 80 accounts while others have 550+ at seemingly random) -Extremely disorganized and chaotic CRM and processes. -No communication between departments (Even between AEs and SDRs) unless the individual employees take it in their own hands to do.

Pros

Phenom offers exceptional flexibility with unlimited PTO and minimal micromanagement. The benefits are top-tier, and the free food in the office is a great perk. Overall, it’s a very employee-friendly environment that values autonomy.

Cons

There is a significant lack of direction within the CV team, with constantly shifting priorities and inconsistent delivery cycles. Methods and tools change frequently, and data collection is manual and inconsistent, frustrating both clients and employees. Furthermore, there is a lack of knowledge sharing between teams, which exacerbates inefficiencies. Leadership also lacks a clear vision for the department’s future, and there is no intuitive framework to streamline processes or deliver value more efficiently, creating ongoing friction for the team.
