      High stress with unrealistic expectations for BDRs

      Business development representative (bdr)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Awesome building, good benefits, fun atmosphere outside of sales org floor. All the BDRs are approachable and fun to be around

      Cons

      Too many to count. The biggest issues are expectations amongst management/higher up. They are expecting the outbound BDRs to bring in 3x more than last years results. Which causes higher quota, and that equals higher stress for reps. Management genuinely doesn’t listen to BDRs advice/input, they only talk about what they think is best. You are expected to hit quota each month which is reasonable but hitting quota is “underachieving” because that’s the standard and they expect us to hit 2 more shown appointments on top of what’s expected. So when you do hit quota they still make it feel like you are behind. They put you on a performance plan when you don’t hit quota for that month. And they still put you on that plan when a third/close to half of others don’t hit quota. It makes you think they would see that this could be a process/management issue on why it’s very difficult to achieve what’s expected but nope, that’s on the reps to figure out. Meetings are rinse and repeat. Nothing changes on ideas to do better. When you ask for advice on what to do the response you will get is to do more calls and work harder when you feel like you are putting in max effort. They make it seem like almost everyone is constantly hitting quota or going over which isn’t true. Only a handful of people are getting quota each month and only a select few are taking in the 2x accelerators. They offer that great perk because they know it’s near impossible for even half of the reps to achieve it. If you are looking for a very high stress job this is the place to be at. It feels like you are scraping by month by month. I still haven’t seen more than 3-5 people be at quota before the last week of the month

      Good but could be better

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People I work with are great, work life balance is great and the product is one of the best

      Cons

      They don’t listen to employees on pay and product needs, they said we would help drive change when we segmented and we have zero say they refuse to look at the customer need to build/expand on an existing product that would explode and instead listen to product and marketing people who never use the product and then blame us when goals aren’t met or we complain.

      Great people, solid pay, but a chaotic environment that undercuts the mission

      Marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The core marketing team is made up of genuinely supportive, talented people. Direct managers are invested in their teams and create a healthy day-to-day environment. Executive leadership is approachable and comes across as sincere in their intentions. Compensation is competitive, and the benefits package is generally good, though not industry leading.

      Cons

      The internal execution model is extremely fragmented. There are so many concurrent initiatives that it’s nearly impossible to maintain ownership of meaningful work. Priorities shift constantly, often quarterly, leaving teams stretched across dozens of projects with no clear strategic focus. There is also a disconnect between the company’s mission, “We set people free to do great work,” and the internal experience. In practice, processes and layers of approvals create the opposite effect. Marketing, in particular, feels oversized relative to the decision making structure. With so many people involved in every step, progress is slow and heavily influenced by overlapping roles. Senior leadership tends to be overly involved in day to day decisions, resulting in a level of micromanagement that feels counterproductive. Given the company’s strong reputation in the local community, the internal reality is surprising. The role experience does not fully match the expectations set during the hiring process.
