Pros

Since my start date at Upwork I have had the opportunity to grow and develop in my career more that I could have imagined. Hard work is noticed here, and is rewarded. The people are great and that makes the job even better, everyone is ready and eager to help you succeed and the company culture is on point. The BDR position is no walk in the park, but in my opinion the best and most rewarding jobs never are. If you are willing to put the work in and show success, you will have the opportunity to advance in your career here and have a blast while doing it.

Cons

Took some restructuring to get where we are today, but all growing companies have growing pains.
