Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am genuinely sorry that your experience felt this way. iplicit is not a low intensity workplace; we are a passionate, hard working team, obsessed with customer satisfaction and building something that displaces legacy incumbents that have stopped serving the market properly. The pace and focus required to do this is very deliberate, and it’s something we try to make very clear during the interview process because we know that we aren’t for the feint-hearted; if we did not set expectations properly in your case, I apologise for that. That said, it is important to separate “this wasn’t for me” from “this place is toxic”. The culture you describe does not align with what the wider team consistently reports. We have just been ranked in the top 5 organisations in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work again, out of tens of thousands of entrants. This accolade is based on anonymous feedback from almost 200 employees and is a reflection of what the vast majority of iplicit colleagues experience day to day. So when one individual’s view sits so far away from that wider picture, the most likely explanation is a mismatch of fit, expectations, and work ethic, not a hidden “reality” that everyone else has missed. On boundaries, personal circumstances, and inclusion, we take those topics seriously. We expect high standards, but we also expect respect and fairness. I wish you well in finding a role and environment that suits you better. Lyndon Stickley, CEO

Pros

Supportive colleagues and strong relationships across many teams. Opportunity to gain exposure to different areas of the business. Fast-paced environment where employees are encouraged to take ownership. Good learning experience for those looking to develop commercial skills in a scaling software company.

Cons

The reality of some roles may differ significantly from the position presented during the recruitment process. Expectations, KPIs and targets are high, but supporting resources, tools and processes do not always evolve at the same pace. Management communication can lack transparency and consistency, making it difficult for employees to understand priorities and expectations. Concerns raised by employees are not always addressed in a meaningful or visible way. There can be significant differences in management style and expectations across teams, resulting in an inconsistent employee experience. Accountability is not always applied consistently across the organisation. Workplace behaviours that negatively impact team culture are not always challenged or addressed. The culture places a strong emphasis on positivity and alignment, which may make it difficult for employees to openly challenge decisions or raise concerns. Frequent changes in direction can create uncertainty and make long-term planning difficult.

Pros

Onboarding is very well rounded, it teaches you everything you need to know to be successful as an SDR, from outreach methods, ICP's, lines of questioning and product knowledge. Everybody at iplicit is available to help, you're encouraged to be curious and ask questions. Support is available round every corner and colleagues are happy to help. There is a good tech stack in place, it allows you to have comprehensive information about why you are reaching out to people. As someone who comes from a more manual "dial from your phone" background the systems in place offer great automation, efficiency and feedback opportunities. Colleagues have been extremely welcoming, they are happy to have a chat to get to know you and this is especially great considering the remote work. There are systems in place like Coffee Roulette which give you ample opportunity to meet people outside of your immediate team. Progression opportunities, expectations and KPI's/targets/commission were made clear both during the interview process and onboarding. There have been a lot of sessions to help SDR's get to know each other's different styles better, what we individually see is working and the opportunity to share success stories to better your own work. Also, we've had sessions from senior leadership covering company updates, learning sessions outside of your role (eg. AI) and general coaching. iplicit's awards as fastest Overall, this is a fast paced role and you need to be able to pick things up quickly, but it is important to mention that you won't feel left behind as there is a strong, supportive culture behind you and everybody wants to see you win.

Cons

No cons come to mind so far.
