Pros

Remote work in US but not overseas

Cons

Pay reduction by 40% from 2023 to 2024 and getting worse. 6 month paid time off blackout. Clueless top heavy management. Core values contradict actual environment. Would NEVER recommend. Hiring contractors from El Salvador because they are cheap

Pros

I've been with Hawk Ridge in the same sales position for about 5 years now. I've seen a lot of people come and go and the people that have success are the ones that are able to learn the changes in the market, be able to speak fluently to engineers despite not being one themselves and lastly, be able to stay organized and have the tenacity to maintain contact during a long sales cycle. The fact of the matter is the SOLIDWORKS eco-system is vast and can get complicated, learning what everything does is a multi-year process and you will need to be really driven to make sales while your learning by working hard, asking basic questions and pulling in the correct resources. This can really be overwhelming when you work in a virtual capacity. But if you're hungry and are dedicated to getting to that point, the company offers great compensation really good bennefits and the best support in the industry. The gig is easy, you just gotta work at it.

Cons

Hawk Ridge has grown immensley the last few years and is currently experiencing some growing pains that any company would going from a hundred something employees to over 500 in a short amount of time. We recently changed CRM's and the migration was clumsy to say the least. The administrative clean-up is the biggest downside to the job. Getting sales isn't hard, struggling with the system in place is. Additionally (and this is the case for any VAR in the SOLIDWORKS channel) were at the whim of what SOLIDWORKS wants to do, that lack of autonomy can be frustrating at times.
