Pros

Great community to work in. I generally enjoy working with the people here and feel that my opinion is valued. I feel supported by my manager and team and genuinely feel like any feedback I give is recognized and acted on to build a better culture.

Cons

The company is focused a lot on working fast and not so much on the quality of our work, which has resulted in a lot of debt build up both in our product and in how we operate internally. Also, there's a lack of socializing and helping teams feel connected with each other since work has gone remote.

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
