A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy and an Excellent Opportunity
Pros
-they will pay you for the work you put in (i'm not longer an hourly employee, but they will pay you overtime which is unheard of in the industry and speaks to how much they value your time/effort) -the pay is great along all of the roles i've been in compared to my friends in similar roles (SDR, AE, AE Manager) -excellent opportunity for promotion (I started as an SDR, then became an AE, Now am an AE Manager) b/c I produced. Period. -There is a lot of rigidness in terms of their sales process, but I view that as a positive. It's like being drafted to the Patriots. You buy in, you will win and close business. -The atmosphere in the office is phenomenal. I truly enjoy my day-to-day (mostly ;) ) and get along very well with all of my fellow colleagues -If you work your butt off, and desire to be great, you will be great. -A consistent flow of opps coming in from a very active SDR team makes for an easier job focusing on closing business for the AE's
Cons
-sometimes it feels as though things are rolled out from the top-down, and there isn't much thought given to how things will be responded to. There should be a little bit more thought to how things are rolled out as it feels short-sighted at times. -The SDR organizations seems to be having some issues currently (hasn't always been like this) understanidng the big picture (IE - you ship opps, those opps can turn into closed business & the SDR role is a precursor to being a successful AE)
