Two-faced company - Anonymous employee Smokeball Employee Review

Working here has been a culture shock. Smokeball is filled with genuine people. Both peers and those in leadership are kind and more than willing to help in any aspect. If there is an area you have questions or may be struggling in, it's encouraged to ask and get guidance. There is a clear vision of what the company's mission is, and you are included in the motion. There's no "being left in the dark". There are also many team outings and even surprise gifts that come about. Great place to work with a strong product that is in motion to continue to separate from the competition.

Like every sales position, prospecting can be challenging. However, taking the steps needed to approach to learn the legal industry as it's new to me.

Smokeball has a very supportive and collaborative culture, Team members are always willing to help one another, whether it’s with sales strategies, ongoing learning, or enablement. The company also places a strong emphasis on work-life balance, encouraging employees to take time off for family or when they’re sick without concern. There is a generous vacation policy, and unused time rolls over, which adds flexibility. Additionally, the enablement team does a great job of keeping everyone informed on product updates, ensuring we are well-equipped with the latest information when speaking with clients.

One potential area for improvement is the transition from Business Development Representative (BDR) to Account Executive. Currently, there isn’t a clearly defined path for advancement. While some BDRs have successfully moved into AE roles, having a more structured internal progression and prioritizing internal candidates before hiring externally could make career growth more transparent and attainable.
