Great Perks and Good Pay, but no opportunity for Career Growth

Business development representative (bdr)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great Benefits and Perks ($100 Wellness a month, 401k match, ESPP) - Great Coworkers - Very nice office with tons of free food and drinks - The work is relatively easy and not too stressful of days - High base with automatic commission - Great brand and good for resume

Cons

- Faking numbers (the entire org relies on fudging numbers to hit their metrics, which is often called "playing the game") - No autonomy (Your success is directly correlated to if your AEs like you as well as if your patch is good) - No path to promotion and zero room for growth (Constant hiring freezes and metrics are always evolving to unrealistic numbers. Best way to be promoted here is to leave and then come back) - Leadership is unable to help and you do not learn much while in this role

Thank you for your review and feedback — we know it's not easy to share, and we greatly appreciate you taking the time. What you've listed in your Cons section is disappointing — as a leader, you know our culture well, and to hear that it's falling short of your expectations is concerning. It would be helpful for us to hear more about your experiences to better address what you have listed here. If you feel comfortable doing so, we ask that you please contact Employee Relations through the "Connect With Employee Relations" Concierge article so that we can take action. Thank you again for your candor.

Pros

The biggest pro is the view from the tower

Cons

Unless you have a good territory you will not be successful in this role. Management will constantly micro manage you on every deal that you have. You explain the situation and they will push you harder to sell. Weekly 1 on 1s are setup as a way that you should be able to get questions answered. It’s just made as a way for management to hound you why a deal isn’t closed. No true training. Hard to find answers to your questions. Do not ask your manager for questions because the answer will be “look on slack”.
