Business Outlook

Pros

You have the ability to solve very technical problems for people & is a great place to learn recruiting fundamentals

Cons

At the time it was chaotic, as I was moved across different teams every few months due to what the business needed which was a lot learning new things on the fly, which was exciting, but it did get frusterating.

Pros

- product is best in class - great place to develop as an early career seller - office and benefits are great

Cons

- very political high school esk culture - base pay is low - promotion path to from COMM to MM is slow and highly politically driven - accounts are ran through and majority are terrible because DD hires 100s of sellers at low pay to cover as many accounts at the same time as possible
