Pros

Great SDR teams, the office is full of lovely people who really will help each other.

Cons

Management consistently failing their reps. You’ll get lucky or unlucky what manager you get. The amount of turnover is concerning. Very few people consistently hit target. Nearly everyone is being threatened with a PIP. When you get the job you’re told they prioritise internal hires, this isn’t the case. All top performers leave because they can’t get promoted and all AEs being hired are coming from Salesforce. Very little diversity.
