Pros

overall comp is better than the avg software tech company out there, and i met a handful of decent coworkers.

Cons

my time there was rough. i came in as a backfill and i could see why it was a backfill right off the bat. the teams were not aligned internally and management was all over the place. i had 3 different bosses in the span of one year. the onboarding was pretty much a solo adventure and people got laid off left and right, so morale was never high.

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.
