Pros

Not many. I'd strongly advise against working here. There are a few smart people here in which you can learn form.

Cons

This place was a scam. They hired me to join a "rocket ship" but all it is is a few people at the top calling shots and playing politics, firing people out of the blue for outrageous, non-sensible reasons. I wish I had never joined this place.

We're disappointed to hear that you feel this way. Validity is an amazing business comprised of many smart, hard-working, talented individuals, and it's anything but a scam. It sounds like you are no longer working at Validity, so we hope your next employment opportunity is a better fit for you and your working style.

Pros

Seem driven toward growing and acquiring every company possible.

Cons

Moving too fast for its own good. Too many companies/products/teams and not working enough on cohesion.

Pros

Good coworkers, some approachable leadership, and decent products.

Cons

Feels very corporate and not in a good way. Company has an air of depression around it. Semi-niche product line. Lots of cold calling. Company strategy benefits executive team, almost-exclusively. Based on conversations with numerous other reps, a lot of reps were not close to the OTE provided in our comp plans, since the large majority of reps were far from quota. Be prepared for many uncomfortable sales calls with customers who are more than upset that you're telling them to pay 10x from last year for the same tool/service. Uncomfortable business practices (acquire, inflate cost up to 10x, resell exact same product/service and hope customers don't blow you up) and extremely low morale. For good employees, above average turnover, as a lot of talent left willingly (yikes). A lot of overpromise/underdeliver to employees and it eventually catches up and good people leave. Many reps constantly have one foot out the door waiting for something to come their way, so it makes it hard to recommend Validity. Moral of the story - Job market is hot, so there are easy-to-find, better alternatives for an inside sales rep role, based on some simple online tools/searches.

Thanks for your feedback. The SDR (Sales Development Representative) role creates and develops leads, so that does involve cold calling--this is reinforced in the interview process and an integral requirement of the job. For Sales/SDR roles, quotas and comp plans are reviewed and adjusted annually as the business improves its ability to capture metrics/data; these revised plans then increase opportunities for attainment, including the new plan rolled out in January 2020. Validity is a young company (not yet two years old), so it is consistently honing its processes, tools and resources in an effort to become a best-in-class workplace and business. Give us time and we'll get there!
