Pros

Remote work makes it easy to have a personal life. Not often very busy. Great early RSUs although refresh grants get lower and lower every year.

Cons

All of the leaders who knew what they were doing or who had any vision for the company have left. Chief People Officer just left after company survey results came back. They are not good. Lots of in-fighting in teams and between teams. They just move problem managers to other teams and give them more reports. Leaders do not agree on priorities. People are getting burned out in short time because everything is a fire. Recognition is just a dangling carrot with no substance. There was vision when I started here. It went out the door with some great leaders in 2022.

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.
