Pros

Opportunity to learn and take responsibility specially juniors

Cons

There is no work-life balance in some teams. Excessive expectations despite low salaries. Unnecessary urgency is created around every release. Unrealistic expectations regarding AI and agentic AI. Salaries are not on par with product company standards.

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
