Pros

- Fantastic brand name and strong product offering - Innovative culture on the product side - the company continues to invest in developing and improving its solutions - Excellent benefits, compensation package and stock program - Good enablement resources and access to knowledgeable technical experts

Cons

- The management style within the SDR team can feel unsupportive at times, with feedback that may come across as dismissive and, on occasion, culturally insensitive. This impacts the overall sense of professionalism and employee morale. - Career achievements are not always acknowledged in a constructive way, with some promotions attributed more to "luck" than to performance, which can feel discouraging for those who have worked hard to advance. - Career progression beyond the SDR role are limited, even for consistent achievers - Although employees have raised concerns through HR channels regarding team culture and management behavior, there has been little visible follow-up or change. - Managerial accountability remains a challenge. Despite repeated low effectiveness scores, little action has been taken to address these issues, which continues to affect team morale.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
