Pros

MOST of the employees are very supportive - but like *any* place you go, you will have people you don't like. The CoFounders/Management are very open to questions - and they give you honest answers. Great work culture - company outings/emphasis on training/1x quarter happy hours/2x a year all expenses paid trips for the top half of the company (Around 65 people). Incredibly transparent environment regarding financials (the company prides itself on elaborating on its successes *and* its pitfalls) The Cofounders and management have repeatedly requested feedback and seek ways to improve readily.

Cons

It's a sales job so you reap what you sow. If you don't like challenges, you will not like it here. If you can't handle constructive criticism, don't come here. Come here if you are hungry to learn and challenge yourself, as well as help others improve.

We appreciate you taking the time to post your feedback in this forum. It's great to hear how positive your experience has been so far. memoryBlue seeks to create an open culture of communication, so please continue to surface your feedback through the variety of channels available within the firm. Sales is certainly challenging and requires a "game on" mindset. You're correct to point out that it may not be for everyone. But for those that do relish a competitive, rewarding and fun career path, sales holds limitless opportunity.

Pros

Memoryblue is a fantastic place to work! The culture is amazing, the leadership is top notch, and it is a great way to jump head first into tech sales. The weekly training sessions are organized, wildly helpful, and fun. It is an all around great place to work.

Cons

None, it is a great place to work.

Pros

It’s not that bad if you are a straight, conservative, white male

Cons

Since they mostly higher people straight from college, they don’t treat people like respectable professionals. Everyone is micro managed and constantly being disrespected. The training is inconsistent, you will learn a technique during training, then upper management will tell you that what you learned was completely wrong and is the reason behind your failure. The compensation structure is poorly designed. Even if you are doing well and hitting quota the payout is minuscule. Management will lie to your face in order to benefit themselves. There is a lot of luck with doing well here, having a good client is the biggest thing, but even then the pay out isn’t usually worth it. The turn over is super high because the culture is terrible. It’s having young fellow coworkers hat sometimes become friends, but they don’t last long because it’s such a bad environment. It’s not worth it to come here, go anywhere else if oh have he option, or just wait a month or two and you will find another job right out of college.

Thank you for taking the time to post anonymous feedback on our Glassdoor page. memoryBlue is an incredibly committed equal opportunity employer. Fostering a diverse team and professional environment gives us a special culture – a culture where curiosity, tolerance, acceptance and increased knowledge through the sharing of different perspectives allows our team to grow and thrive both as professionals and individuals. It’s disappointing that you believe otherwise, but what you described is not an environment we condone or actively cultivate in the least. Regarding training, we have one of the most comprehensive training programs for individuals that are new to sales you will find in the marketplace. At memoryBlue, the SDR is the star of the show (as opposed to many other entry level sales roles, where the product is supposed to be the star and the SDR receives little to no sales technique training). The other complaints you list are a familiar sort found in almost every sales role – the job is tough and not for everyone, to be sure. But often times, people mistakenly believe successful sales pros are “lucky” to do well because they don’t see all the hard work being put in behind the scenes (extra mile work they themselves may not care to do). Turnover is high in sales (especially entry level sales) due to two reasons: the best of the best elevate quickly because demand is so high for their solid skills or those who decide the rigorous career sales path (where you get out exactly what you put in) isn’t for them. Both reasons are understandable and valid. If you do choose to stay in sales, we wish you nothing but the best as you continue forward.
