Pros

I was able to develop as an SDR which led me to gain more knowledge in the tech field. I was eventually hired out to my client. Good Culture.

Cons

There is a younger office environment. .

Thank you for taking time to post feedback. Celebrating when our team gets hired out by a client is just one of many ways we do things differently at memoryBlue. We’re pumped that you have elevated your sales career to the next stage! Congratulations.

Pros

You get a chance to experience tech sales from an elementary level. Great entry level position. You get exposure to a lot of different companies, usually local, that allow you to see how many different sales organizations are ran. There are a lot of fun events and team bonding activities.

Cons

It's all based on your client. If you get a client where your quota is completely unattainable, it's your fault and never the client. Performance metrics are constantly subject to change. There is a level of micromanagement instilled in this company that for most tech businesses, is unheard of. The training is terrible.

Thank you for investing time to offer feedback on your experience with memoryBlue. While it is unfortunate that you feel your experience wasn’t positive, your comments help keep us focused on continuous improvement for all aspects of our workplace. memoryBlue is committed to setting equitable, attainable, stretch goals for an average SDR to achieve. With over 80 clients, these goals are different for each client due to a multitude of reasons (client’s technology maturity, client marketing support, etc.). Training at memoryBlue emphasizes skill building and effectiveness over popularity and entertainment value. While this approach may not be for everyone, it has proven to produce results for most. Those who successfully complete the training are highly valued in the marketplace. We hope you find your professional calling and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Amazing owners/management. Chris and Marc are always open to sharing tips and advice, and they care about the SDRs success as well as the company. Working open door policy makes you feel like a valued member of the team. Culture club: there is definitely a young community at memoryblue, but they work to find company activities that are engaging, and morale boosting Opportunities. Between the diverse clientele and (depending on your work ethic and manager) flexibility in style of work, there are a lot of intriguing opportunities: some people work on-site with clients once or twice a week. I was able to go to a few trade shows and face-to-face meetings with my client People: I found that I liked the people I worked with way more than I expected. Training: they tell you you will get a lot of training, and you will. Just be sure to ask questions and make yourself available, because nothing will happen purely organically. The model: I worked here for 4.5 months before being "hired out", which is sort of the whole goal of working at memoryBlue. It is not a position for working at two, three years, unless you go into management or something. They encourage upward/outward mobility, and in my experience, help prepare you for it.

Cons

Heavily metrics based. If you're not the kind of individual who is motivated by metrics, you might have to find an additional way to motivate yourself. (my manager was Frank, and he was very flexible with me when I explained my work style and work ethic and what I needed to be successful) Low salary. My recommendation is to work hard, and get hired out! And put in the hours for the promotion. There's not always a lot of transparency. The company was growing rapidly while I was there and there was a period of rapid change and transition that sort of came as a surprise. I think, because of the nature of the ever-changing employees and clientele, it is easy for management to stay sort of hush on some things. That being said, I found that my manager always wanted to make sure we had the opportunity to ask questions and get clarity, even if it was after the fact. You have no control over which client you get and sometimes they are less than ideal. Take it in stride as a learning opportunity! Advice to employees: remember it is a grown up job, even with the game room and young atmosphere. Be responsible and do your job, ask questions and look for learning, training, and enrichment opportunities. It's not the easiest job, but it is what they say it is in the interviews. Have fun!
