Pros

- Leading Product innovation & thought leadership on Apache Kafka & Innovation - Very inclusive, friendly and supportive company culture - Visionary CEO & company mission - Specifically, in the SDR org, the management team is top-class

Cons

- As a start-up, there are natively areas of improvement, specifically as it pertains to structure/processes. This may seem like somewhat of a blocker at first, but a great opportunity for people to showcase their skills and gain recognition by making something better.

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
