Pros

- Good pay - Average benefits

Cons

- Manager provides little direction to the SDR team and rarely provides constructive feedback to the team - Majority of scheduled SDR team meetings are usually cancelled 10 minutes before the meeting starts - You're expected to respond to inbounds within 5 minutes regardless of the time or it’s frowned upon - Not a place to go if you want a solid career path - Manager responds to LiveChats and takes some of the inbounds instead of entrusting his SDR team to do what he hired them to do - They say they are building a culture around diversity and inclusion but you don’t feel that same energy when you’re an employee there - A lot of folks who are currently employed there came from the same company, so there’s a lot of favoritism amongst this group of folks because they worked together in the past

While we constantly strive to increase our diversity, we value all of the experiences that our employees bring and treat everyone with respect. Again, we are disappointed to hear you feel that you do not experience this here at Anchore, and we would absolutely welcome a discussion surrounding this at any time so we can better understand your experiences, and work to improve.

Pros

Anchore is a rare gem in the tech startup world. The co-founders (CEO and CTO) have structured and methodically built this company from the ground up with the clear goal of growing to become a sustaining, independent company, rather than getting it off the ground enough to make a quick sale to someone else and then go on to the next thing. It's really nice to have that transparency as an employee and know that everyone is working towards that common goal. Our executives genuinely care about our employees (embodied in our values of kindness, openness, and accountability) and want them to grow both professionally and personally. Our jobs are incredibly challenging and our leadership support is incomparable to any company I've worked for (and I've been everywhere from some of the top names in tech to mid-size startups). Employee development is already a top priority for the executive team, proven in their decision to hire me to to build out our learning and development and diversity and inclusion initiatives so that development and inclusion are at the foundation of who we are as a company as we continue to scale. In most companies roles like mine don't get brought in until the company is a few hundred people strong. This again speaks volumes to the leadership of Anchore and what they are here to build.

Cons

It is a true startup where you wear many hats and don't have all of the glamorous office perks like bigger companies with ping pong tables and beer on tap, etc. If those are things that really matter to you, then this isn't the company for you.
