Pros

*good people *somewhat interesting problem space

Cons

*leadership is rudderless and makes rash decisions without consideration of their impact on the business *those who succeed here do so by showing blind allegiance to leadership no matter how reckless or illogical the direction *exec leadership seems to be the only business unit that escapes accountability for their failures *As a product manager, this is a great place if you like top-down roadmaps, manufactured urgency, and leaders who lack basic product sense

Pros

This was my first SDR job and it was an amazing fit for me at first. I made what I was expecting and the training was thorough, supportive and effective. If there exists an easy product to sell, podium is it. It’s extremely relevant to it’s audience. The culture is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, my direct superior and her’s were some of the most inspiring and motivating people I’ve ever worked with. This place is chock full of some really great professionals

Cons

The pay is not only lower than every other SDR job nearby, but the commission AND quota structure for SDRs is 100% based on closed revenue. This wasn’t explained to me when I interviewed and was implemented a week into my stay. This wasn’t my cup of tea so when I got a better offer that I felt demonstrated a more respectful commission structure with a higher base, I decided to take things another way. Important thing to mention is when I was considering leaving, senior management tried to scare me into staying. Threatened to never hire me back and I was making a terrible career mistake and I was wrong for wanting a more reliable commission structure and better pay. Very arrogant and scarce mindset from senior management. That being said, if it wasn’t for a better offer, I would’ve stayed to invest more time, I was lucky to be paired with a great AE in a high performing vertical. My guess however is it’s a very stressful job if those two things aren’t the case.
