Pros

Excellent benefits and compensation package. Industry-leading product with a strong reputation. The company USED to have a strong, supportive culture that made it a great place to work.

Cons

New management caused a sharp decline in SDR team culture. Despite consistent overachievement, performance was often minimized. Team often experienced inappropriate remarks disguised as “jokes” that crossed into racial discrimination, making the workplace uncomfortable. Clear favoritism damaged morale and fairness. Several HR cases were raised, but management/HR did not enforce proper actions and often dismissed the team’s concerns. Management is clearly incompetent, failing to lead with professionalism or fairness. Frequent use of vulgar language in team meetings further eroded respect for leadership.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
