Pros

I'm working with highly intelligent, empathetic and motivated individuals that are coming together to do something great! The c-suite constantly shows how down to earth they all are and how much they care about the growth of the company and the folks who are helping build it. It's intense, fast and drives you to do your best! In a healthy way! Employee experience matters and there are programs to ensure the global team feels connected!

Cons

I'm not sure if it's the hypergrowth, quality of recruiting, or employees' expectations, but there seems to be a growing sense of entitlement. I don't think it applies to everyone or a majority, but I am definitely noticing that entitlement is spilling into different areas of the business. But ditto to what someone else said, super grateful to be here, so very little complaints!

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
