Pros
I loved my team and the people that I worked with. I was truly sad to leave. They were like family to me. My specific manager was KICKASS, I love her, LOVE her. And she went to bat for me and the rest of the team every time. The managers and coworkers in this department are the best! The BEST team I ever worked with. I will scream this from the mountain top. Was flexible and understanding once I became a mom, allowed me to work hybrid, super grateful! Nothing to really complain about my manager or the specific work that I was doing. My responsbilities and how my role operated is a lot different than the SDR roles that are dominate at memoryBlue. I would recommend reaching out to anyone on LinkedIn that is or was a SDR at memoryBlue to get a real understanding of the work environment, different offices have different culture and standards. - Healthcare was great at this company when I left. - Great entry level company if you're looking to get into Tech Sales. - For SDRs: Great training and onboarding program. - First Fridays and TOPs were always a blast - Company will partial pay for events for company bonding - Network programs that mB provides - Constantly growing, changing and improving everyone that works at mB!
Cons
experience as "Overhead": There is no real road for elevation or growth. They'll constantly want you to improve and grow to learn new skills take on more responsibilities. But it's a fight to be compensated or promoted fairly. Compensations/Raises isn't a process since we don't have KPIs. You will have to advocate for yourself to your manager. SDRs got raises once they hit each company's tenure milestone. We do not get the same benefits as SDRs. Their TOPs/President Club trips, 3K/5K trips, I was told were benefits for working at the company. They did not mention it only applied to SDRs. Don't get your hopes up if this is mentioned during your interview. It felt like a fight to get to TOPs every year. Workload is a lot. It's chaotic, most times. Roles and responsibilities changes all the time. If you constantly love being on your toes and staying busy, this is the company and job for you! The company is under a VC and recently acquired a different company. The transition was brutal by the time I left. A lot of the small things that made mB mB, weekly bagel day and breakfast burrito day, started to transition into potlucks for holidays and events. To cut cost but trying to maintain culture. Morale starting to dip pretty badly. Being at the company for a 4 years and seeing rapid decline is really hard to witness like most companies the last year or so.
