Pros

Exec Leadership team Customer-obsessed Unrelenting emphasis on improving

Cons

The MDR service industry is inherently stressful. If you prioritize work life balance and want a stress-free job you are in the wrong space. They are better than many MDR companies about making sure people have time when necessary, but protecting people 24/7 means a schedule is subject to change. On top of that, they want to be the best in the world. Thats hard to do and takes a lot of effort and a focus on tangible high quality output. Don't come if you don't want to do those things.

Pros

The interview process was absolutely seamless, and I felt well informed about next steps and expectations every step of the way (shoutout to Brandon!). Every single person I met was warm, inviting, and genuinely seemed happy to be part of the Expel team, which made the decision to accept my offer an easy yes! :) The onboarding experience was intentional and thoughtfully personalized to my role, with a checklist that was easy to follow and trainings that built naturally week by week in a way that never felt overwhelming. We also had the opportunity to participate in new hire meet and greets with leaders across the organization, and what continues to stand out to me is the level of transparency, authenticity, and humanness every leader at Expel brings.

Cons

The success of current AEs at Expel is super inspiring, which sets a high bar and everyone is very driven, so it can take a bit of time a to fully ramp and feel confident in your role initially. It also takes time to build key relationships and earn trust with partners and customers, so consistent presence, early territory engagement, and ongoing relationship building are critical to long term success.
