Pros

I have worked in technology for 10 years and have found Conductor to be the best job so far. The company has a tremendous market opportunity, a commitment to its people and a desire to win. In the last few months, we have made some major changes across our leadership and it has me excited about what we are doing. Our engineering is really starting to move quickly and we are winning. I am excited to get up and come in every day.

Cons

There is a lot to do and not a lot of time. It's a high pressure place and the pressure doesn't come from our ceo making up things, it comes from the market pushing us and demanding more faster. This is stressful at times and demanding, but it's what I signed up for.

Pros

Good experience with the people so far, feel like everyone is generally friendly and it's a small enough company that it's easy to connect with people to learn about their positions. Good experiences so far with managers who are generally warm and friendly. Relatively good work life balance, you work remotely all month of August and you can travel.

Cons

Biggest con personally is the low pay, just among the lowest you can make in a starting position and it takes about 1.5-2 years to scale into a better place as an SDR which is odd to me because its a position that on average folks spend that amount of time in before moving up. I believe it causes higher turnover in the first year as an SDR and would love to see a higher starting pay and clearer path forward to improve motivation and retention. I also wish they had mentioned in the interview that commission is 50% taxed, I understand this is common practice but didn't feel like there was great transparency on this. Lastly, feel like theres an unbalanced approach to in person office culture, it doesn't seem to be applied equally across all teams (for instance the Sales team seems to have the most pressure to be in person, most other teams it seems are are able to work remotely more flexibly). Just makes it confusing when you can ask to work remotely due to weather or personal reasons, only to show up and find that you are the only one in office which can be frustrating and cause unnecessary tension.
