Pros

The Australian team is incredible. They are some of the best I have had the pleasure to work with. Great local culture. Technology is great and the investments in maturing the tech mean huge opportunity.

Cons

APAC sales leader is problematic. I would not recommend this workplace to women. Diversity is a huge issue as well as respect of women from leadership. The recent lay-offs in Australia were due to the right to disconnect legislation that was brought in and trumped strategy. We lost talent, marketing, channel and operations to offshore to countries with less employees rights.

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.
