Pros

Conductor, as a company is a fun, exciting, energized place to work. There are exciting opportunities for talent right out of the college to senior level positions. No one gets lost in the mix, everyone works, everyone contributes as the opportunity for promotion is definitely available. The normal free snacks, cereal, and other amenities one would expect from a start up.

Cons

I'm sure (I hope) my experience was a one-off, however. For me, in my specific situation, I have never felt more useless, more "in the way" than working at Conductor. I've been in the work force for a long time, and never have I been so dismissed, had my opinion questioned so quickly, or my ideas shot down so consistently. Suffice to say, this was not a good marriage, I did not look forward to going to work. Sadly, within three months of working there, I began looking for a new job. Things started to get a little better, however, that did not last very long. Two months into rekindling my search for a new job I was let go. Thank. You. For. That. Not naming names, of course, you know who you are, but if you don't, you're not paying attention. I can't really say I learned anything at Conductor, perhaps know when to cut the cord when you're getting rope burn.

Pros

Good experience with the people so far, feel like everyone is generally friendly and it's a small enough company that it's easy to connect with people to learn about their positions. Good experiences so far with managers who are generally warm and friendly. Relatively good work life balance, you work remotely all month of August and you can travel.

Cons

Biggest con personally is the low pay, just among the lowest you can make in a starting position and it takes about 1.5-2 years to scale into a better place as an SDR which is odd to me because its a position that on average folks spend that amount of time in before moving up. I believe it causes higher turnover in the first year as an SDR and would love to see a higher starting pay and clearer path forward to improve motivation and retention. I also wish they had mentioned in the interview that commission is 50% taxed, I understand this is common practice but didn't feel like there was great transparency on this. Lastly, feel like theres an unbalanced approach to in person office culture, it doesn't seem to be applied equally across all teams (for instance the Sales team seems to have the most pressure to be in person, most other teams it seems are are able to work remotely more flexibly). Just makes it confusing when you can ask to work remotely due to weather or personal reasons, only to show up and find that you are the only one in office which can be frustrating and cause unnecessary tension.
