Pros

*employee culture was awesome *my manager was the best manager I had in my career *free food/office cool vibe *flexible

Cons

*no career path *poor upper management. primarely all men and no women leadership *sdr's are treated so poor by everyone and I mean EVERYONE *comp plans always late *territory changes constantly *goals are always unachievable *asked to do so many things outside of your job description *very un-organized *marketing department out of date and ridiculous out of touch with the market *to many people trying to make useless decisions *I went through 4 directors in the 3 years I was there *burnt out almost every quarter *toxic environment for women Don't work here. Women are looked at so unfairly. No career advancement for SDRs. I feel bad for my manager who is over worked and treated as the Go-To person all the time but so under appreciated. SDRs are treated so poor by sales, and marketing so many SDRs have left that company because we are treated like kids. Such a dead end job. Pandemic made it worse. So un-organized it literaly made me sick working there and felt like a slave doing so much admin work, I don't even like thinking about working there. If it wasn't for my manager I would have quit after the first year. LOOK ELSEWHERE, NOT WORTH THE STRESS

Neo4j Response

I'm so sorry to hear about your negative experience at Neo4j, it's certainly not something we want for any of our employees. I do however, appreciate the feedback, as we can't get better without it. The Neo4j SDR team has been in some transition over these last few years, but with a strong leader in place, it really is a fantastic place to begin a career in enterprise software sales. In the last 12 months a number of SDRs across the globe have moved into quota carrying sales roles and others are slated for new business closing roles in the upcoming quarters. We are continuing to add women to the SDR team, and to leadership roles across the company. It's a passion area of mine, and one to which our leadership team is committed. I'm not sure when you left Neo4j, but I would have loved to have had the chance to talk. If you're open to it, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Thank you again, Kristin
