Pros
SparkPost has some great partners and some decent products. 4 different solutions to sell Email Sending, Inbox Tracker, Competitive Tracker, Taxi for Email. Day to day is chill and not too much stress on quotas. Decent benefits and fully remote opportunity
Cons
*Please read if you’re looking to be an SDR here* Outbound here is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY hard which is why SDR managers at SprkPost only last a few months (5 SDR managers in the past 2 years). As a team of 6 SDR’s we were lucky to get 1 Outbound meeting per month, combined. While the company does have huge logos/customers it’s literally like finding a needle in the haystack at this point. The market is saturated with Email Service Providers and quite frankly SparkPost is fighting an uphill battle against them. Sparkpost only has a backend solution, you’re better off working for a company with a front end (10x more desirable in the marketplace and much easier to book outbound meetings). Lastly after speaking with the SDR’s and AE’s at SparkPost, many of them were stuck in their roles for years. When I was there, there had only been 1 promotion from SDR to AE in 3 YEARS! - Yikes
