      Used to be great but they run good people out

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good people, they portray greatness. Finally gaining the courage to leave as the grass is greener and this is not the “norm”

      Cons

      Executive leadership doesn’t know how to lead and shifts direction like they change clothes. Work culture is toxic at best where everyone is talking behind your back. They ran off great VPs and upper management just because they questioned the norm. The CEO had (may still have) a very personal relationship which ruined his marriage. They don’t live the values they have. Transparency gets you a ticket out the door! Other Execs are followers and don’t have many unique ideas. Ask how many patents they have from enigineering. Ask what a name change will do (as they try to change the image of the company but not address root issues). Why is attrition so high (don’t let them tell you they are “non regrettable”…they manipulate these numbers. Ask about the partner strategy they have been working on for 3+ years. Ask about the execution of sales, inside sales (they ran off a great leader there a while back). Why are they desperate for additional funds? Why were they only offered around $5/share when the executive team said two years ago they were around $20? They can’t survive in their own and think they will need to “partner” with someone else and get new senior leadership.

      Incompetent leadership. Toxic managers

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The perks- medical, dental, free lunch. SDRs are talented and smart. Willing to help and provide emotional support which you will need in this role.

      Cons

      I saw the bad reviews and decided to give a try but it’s been one of my biggest professional regrets. Leadership- management is not fit for their roles and lack the basic requirements it takes to be a leader: empathy, interpersonal skills, communication skills, and plain respect for others. The Director is the most unqualified for the role. The only skill he possesses is the ability to “sell” himself. As a previous Sales person, he understands how to speak beautifully but the veil is quickly lifted when you realize that he has no strategic vision or understanding of how to support his managers. His favorite sentence is “we have failed you and that’s my fault” but he does nothing to course correct. Managers are stretched thin and have little to no time to train their team. One of the managers has no awareness of how to work with others. He constantly complains in front of his staff about his workload and claims he is constantly being yelled at from upper management. He should never be a people manager. You are expected to work like a machine. It’s frowned upon to collaborate with other SDRs- probably because they don’t want people speaking about how incompetent their leaders are- and they only care about their numbers. Stay away- there are better SDR opportunities elsewhere.

      We’re excited to continue to introduce new opportunities for our employees to learn and grow, including our recently launched learning platform designed to make professional growth more accessible and engaging than ever before. We welcome your feedback as you explore this new tool and hopefully take one of the many in-person or virtual trainings hosted by our learning and enablement teams. Often we see our executive team through webinars and Town Hall meetings, which can make it difficult to know them on a deeper and more personal level. As announced recently we’re launching a connect program that will allow you to sign up to have a ‘coffee’ with an executive. We hope you take advantage of this opportunity and sign up.
