Pros

Since SF is a sales army you’ll learn all the tricks on how to squeeze out anything you can from your patch. Good name to have on your CV and great easy way how to get into the tech world and have more opportunities out there. There are a handful successful and satisfied employees in Dublin office in the Sales Dev - before you accept an offer reach out to someone who works/worked in the same region or ideally a team and get some insight on the manager, team, PATCH. This is the only way to survive there at least for 6 months before you will start hating your life. If there’s no other opportunities in tech for you (e.g. transferring from a different industry) it’s a great place to start, but just be totally ready and know that you will be able to handle this mentally & physically.

Cons

Everything else. I’ve worked there for a year, it’s taken me a long time to calm down, look back and reassess everything with a calm mind before writing this rating. If you are going to apply for a SDR/BDR/AE roles I would suggest to brace yourself for the worst. I’m not going to list all the things that were already said, so do yourself a favor and filter by 1/2* reviews and read the cons - everything is 100% true.

Toxic Culture

Pros

Great pay and benefits VTO and go anywhere

Cons

- ES (employee success) is almost functionally dead and they only do lip service. - Ohana culture is totally diluted - Certain race with royal accent are in the top management who is the root cause of toxic culture. - Be in the inner circle of current leadership otherwise you are invisible. - Lay off most women leaders across all functions. Current LT only hires women at lower grade level to shown D&I benchmarks and really do not care about women. Those who left works only on LinkedIn with lot of photos to promoted wrong culture. - Micro-management in sales / presales as incapable managers

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are a global company, so finding time to meet with colleagues in different countries can be difficult! That being said, every manager should collaborate with their team on a Team Agreement that outlines how and when everyone will work together so that expectations for collaborative hours are clear. We're sorry to hear that this was not your experience. Please rest assured that leadership reviews feedback consistently, so your concerns will be seen by the right people. Thank you again for your review!
