Pros

Amazing product and some of the coolest and smartest people I have ever met. It is so easy to get passionate about the future of marketing and work on your skills here.

Cons

Worst BDR program out there. There is no structure to how we operate and no clear direction. The metrics encourage laziness and hinder sales development(which is all self driven). If you want to pick off hot leads and not really build your skills then this is the place to do it. If you want to build loyal reps that come from the BDR level then work closely with those who are eager to learn and stop trying to slow them down. Main problem here is that it is not a sales driven organization, so a lot of the sales people here are not true salesmen, but instead are working off of who finds the best leads first. That's frustrating if you are talented, especially at the BDR level.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
