Pros

- hybrid w ability to work remotely overseas - a flexible schedule w possibility of establishing work-life balance if you manage yourself well - genuinely good and helpful diverse and international group of colleagues across BDR teams - generally good cross-functional BDR-AE collab - the BDR managers and team leaders hired are compassionate, good at motivating and leading the team - well-located office in central London

Cons

- too many back-and-forth unnecessary/unproductive changes happening as a result of multiple changes in CRO and the drive to grow the company further at the expense of the sales department - lack of improvements to enhance efficient workflow - Career growth opportunities are limited to roles within sales + salaries transitioning to other roles often not competitive/same as BDR salary so it's not really a promotion (unless it's a role directly above BDR like BDR team lead, management role). - Lack of systematic guidance for career progression - disconnect between senior management and BDR teams' needs, concerns and perspectives on areas and effective ways to improve workflow

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
