Pros

GetHarley has been through a lot of change, but the its coming out of it stronger. The last few months in particular have been a real shift in energy. The atmosphere now is the most positive it’s been in a long time. There’s a sense of momentum again, with interesting work and better opportunities to progress. Lots of difficult decisions and redundancies last year, but people were treated with compassion and respect and it was handled as well as could have been given the nature of the changes. It’s a startup, so things change, you get exposure to a wide range of problems and the chance to stretch beyond your job description. That can be great if you’re proactive and curious, but it isn't for everyone.

Cons

The amount of change has been disruptive and at times pretty tough to handle. Redundancies and strategy shifts are never easy, even when handled well. Roles can feel loosely defined and priorities can move quickly, which isn’t for everyone. You need a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty to be comfortable here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. The past period has involved difficult change, and we have learned how disruptive that could be, even when handled with care. We appreciate you acknowledging the way those decisions were approached, and it’s encouraging to hear that the recent shift in energy and momentum is being felt. Thank you again for the feedback and for recognising the progress being made as trust continues to rebuild.

Pros

1. You’re given real ownership from early on. It’s not a place where you sit back as you’re expected to think commercially and act like a real owner of your book 2. Strong exposure to the bigger picture. Sales isn’t siloed, so you understand product, operations, and strategy more than you might in a larger company 3. Leadership is quite accessible. You’re close to decision-making and can raise ideas or concerns directly. 4. When the team is aligned, it feels collaborative and low-ego. Wins feel meaningful because you know how much work goes into them. I have left due to relocation rather than dissatisfaction. It’s not always easy, but the experience stays with you. I learned a lot during my time here especially about accountability and operating in a high-expectation environment

Cons

1. The pace can be intense, particularly during periods of change. At times, priorities shift while expectations remain high. Internal communication is crucial 2. Here is not an environment for someone who prefers very fixed structure or predictability It requires a certain mindset - you need to be comfortable with intensity, ownership, and change. I’ve seen people join expecting a more “chill” sales role and struggle because that’s just not the reality here.
