This job is not for everyone - particularly not for people with high anxiety or people who feel uncomfortable at a non ethical company. During my time here, I saw immature and unprofessional management, cheating, and many of my colleagues never being paid their promised bonuses. This behavior came from the top down. It really depends on what client you have as to what your experience will be here. Some people will fly by under the radar, doing the bare minimum because they have a great client, but the majority of clients here are very early stage struggling startups that have no clue what they are doing and it’s not the best way to get SDR experience. This is a 100% cold calling job which does not make sense for certain clients and industries where you should be more strategic. Management here is very rigid, and one of the most outrageous things I saw here was how whenever someone left the company they would be met with bitterness, and treated with disrespect. They had multiple “training” sessions throughout the year about trying to scare you into not leaving, and when someone would leave they would talk smack about then to all of the SDRs while they were still there. They mentioned multiple times if you leave here, you are most likely to “fail” in your next job. Being here reminded me of being in a catty high school - the SDRs were great, hardworking people and I made some great friends. But the management is really what brings the morale down. My advice to you if you choose this job is to come here, hold your head up high, serve your time and learn what you can, but don’t listen to their endless lies of the client “hiring you out.” I’ve seen so many of my colleagues here lied to and had their hire out dates pushed back some so far, that the clients eventually just left. At the end of the day, management only wants you to stay so they can keep billing the client on your behalf, not so you can “get the best 12 months of training.” 99% of Bay Area tech companies pay more than mB does and many even require less work of the SDRs with much better training and resources. Remember that your time is valuable and you should always be on the lookout for a better job and company. Pay isn’t everything but the company you are a part of IS essential for your career, so don’t let them guilt you into staying. Do what’s best for you!
