Pros

Parties and some people are nice

Cons

-SDR Training and support is awful crammed in "bootcamp" then left to fend for yourself. - some SDR's given inbounds and marketing leads then comapred to others without any support. - No flexibility 5 days in sweatshop even moved our starting time to 8am?? - If you want any help you have to go out of your way to find it, managers don't exist for SDR's they're too busy trying to squeeze deals out of AEs - low pay..

Pros

Great coworkers, lower-middle management, product, PTO “unlimited” which isn’t true but does allow flexible usage, generous 2 days off for many holidays, and catered food ~3 times a month, regularly stocked fridge with energy drinks, soda, and water.

Cons

Top down leadership disconnected from sales and customer success team. Little coordinated efforts between nearly every department. Overhauled the pay structure Jan 2026, getting rid of the performance based promotion and pay scaling. Preventing OM’s from making the advertised 77k leading to many of us now stuck at 60k or 66k w/ a horrible annualized raise schedule (high performers not getting raises left waiting for potential raises that likely won’t come this year). Nearly nonexistent HR that is hard to get in communication with.
