Pros

The travel product is solving a real market problem, and there are not so many strong competitors — easier to sell than in some more competitive industries. Travelperk parties are nice (if you like to party) but I would not have minded if that budget went to a personal / professional development fund for employees. Mental health platform is a great bonus. Health insurance is good. Barcelona office is very cool (other offices are not so cool). A lot of emphasis on AI tools and tools access.

Cons

Your success depends on the team you are in and who you are friends with. A lot of politics. Some commercial teams are not or were not the best place to be. Some leaders prioritise bringing people they know instead of getting to know existing people. In the past, there were cases when the power of making important decisions was given to people who were not qualified in the subject area. Questions have been raised but successfully ignored by leadership. Overall, the nepotism culture leads to a culture of bad managers being promoted while good people have to go. Many strong long-time employees left in the past year. While occasional refreshments can be great, they are never good if there is an obvious pattern of people leaving (or forced to leave). Internally, many things are a mess, and most employees are doing more work than they physically and mentally can, so there are a lot of mistakes being made and a lot of promises not being kept. Compensation growth is barely possible. Promotions are more common for some teams and less common for others.

Pros

Great work-life balance clear path for promo and multiple career path options really good people Fun events always happening, the company cares about it's employees and wants everyone to collab and work as a team

Cons

with many tech companies there are constant changes and needing to adapt to those changes. The company is relatively young so there are growing pains that come with that

Pros

-Clear career growth path at Perk! The company is very transparent about the steps to become either an AE, AM, or IS after being an SDR. Perk is fast-growing and the opportunities are endless. They’re always adding new roles you can become after being in an entry-level role. -Product: One of the best products in the industry. Customers love talking about their business travel process, and it’s an easy product to be passionate about. My personal experience with our product is seamless and exactly how we market it. -Work-Life Balance: Extremely attainable. I have not once felt like I have to overwork myself or continue my work at home, which is a night and day difference from my previous job! -Hybrid-Work: 3 days in-real-life, and 2 days remote. Also 20 work-from-anywhere days as they encourage us to travel. Compensation: Extremely good. Base salary is at industry standard. Commission is uncapped and targets are very attainable to receive a 100%+ commission check. -Culture is unmatched! Extremely friendly sales team always looking to help and coach others in sales. Perk is very straightforward in how they envision their culture/environment. -Yearly company trip to Barcelona, Spain! And chances to travel and work out of other offices.

Cons

None that I can think of!

We are thrilled to hear that you are finding the SDR role so rewarding and that our career paths, product, and work-life balance are resonating with you. We are particularly pleased that you are embracing our in-real-life philosophy and hybrid model of working by taking advantage of the "work-from-anywhere" days. Our goal is to foster a culture where collaboration in the office and flexibility go hand-in-hand. It’s also great to know that the supportive coaching from your teammates is helping you reach your goals. Thank you for being such a passionate advocate for Perk. We look forward to seeing you grow with us for a long time to come!
