Pros

Used to offer free lunches every 2nd Friday

Cons

I had the most toxic manager I've ever encountered while working at this company. This person was so unprofessional, and I was surprised that HR was aware of the issues, yet never did anything. This person commented on other individual's weight, made employees cry, scolded team members for not being more extroverted, made inappropriate comments on the regular, gossiped about everyone, took snapchat photos at their desk, took all the accolades for the teams work...lord the list goes on. I raised all these issues as the reason why I was leaving to this person's manager and eventually they moved this person to an individual contributor, but why they kept them is beyond me. Definitely a liability. I was actually ecstatic when covid lockdowns took place because it meant I didn't have to deal with this person in the office.

Pros

Working as an SDR at N-able gives you strong exposure to the cybersecurity and IT operations space. You get to learn about real industry challenges like endpoint security, backup and disaster recovery, and remote monitoring solutions that IT teams rely on every day. The SDR role really sharpens your outbound prospecting abilities. You learn how to navigate conversations with IT leaders such as CIOs, IT Directors, and Security leaders. If you're someone who enjoys developing your discovery skills, asking thoughtful questions, and learning how technology solves business problems, this role can accelerate that growth. There is also a strong emphasis on activity and pipeline generation, which helps build discipline in sales development. The experience is valuable if you want to grow into an Account Executive role or continue in cybersecurity sales.

Cons

Like most SDR roles, the environment is metrics-driven and fast-paced. There can be a heavy focus on call activity and outreach volume, which may feel intense for people who prefer slower sales cycles or less outbound work. Because cybersecurity is a complex space, it can take time to become comfortable with the technology and messaging, especially for people new to IT infrastructure or managed services.
