Great hands-on experience but unrealistic expectations and support
Pros
Good place to get hands-on experience in outbound sales, especially if you’re early in your career. You get exposure to international prospects and different industries, which can be interesting. The role helps you build confidence with cold outreach, LinkedIn prospecting, email campaigns, CRM work, and researching accounts. There are some nice people in the company, and certain colleagues are helpful and supportive. The company does put effort into employee benefits and office culture, like gifts, happy hours, team events, and other small perks. There are opportunities to attend or support industry events, which can be good experience. The product itself can be interesting to learn about, especially if you’re interested in data, insights, and market research.
Cons
The target expectations were unrealistic and, in my experience, not fully aligned with the level of training, support, or resources given. Management became less supportive over time, which made it difficult to improve or feel set up for success. There was pressure to hit numbers, but not enough consistent coaching or constructive feedback. The SDR role often felt isolating, especially when expectations increased but support decreased.
