      Pros

      Great people to work with. One of their core beliefs is “Don’t be an a*****e” and they’ve nailed that part of their recruitment down. They have a great coffee bar that has complimentary coffee between 8-3.

      Cons

      Salary/OTE was well below market rates. When queried to management, was told this was a conscious effort taken in covid times so not to lay people off. During interview process (SDR UKI - Outbound), I asked two different managers if the team hit quota, was told by both that the team regularly hits quota only to find out after starting that only inbound regularly hit quota, outbound rarely hit outside of ramping period. While they are a scale up, I found myself with 4 managers across 8 months. Felt like I was passed around without much care or attention. The UKI team was too large. While management quoted a large TAM, it was often the case of 20+ SDRs going after the same most opportunistic industries.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated your team and found our values aligned with your experience—especially the importance we place on creating a supportive and respectful work environment. We recognise your concerns regarding compensation, quota attainment, and management changes. While we continuously assess our compensation structures to ensure competitiveness, we regret any miscommunication during the interview process regarding most recent quota achievement. We’ll take your input to further enhance transparency and clarity moving forward. Your points on the growing SDR team size, account distribution, and outreach strategy are also well noted. We're committed to finding the right balance between personalisation and scalability, and your suggestions are invaluable as we work to optimise our portfolio approach. It’s unfortunate that you felt the management support wasn’t up to expectations at all times, and we’re reviewing our processes to ensure all team members feel supported, particularly around performance targets. In similar situations, we always encourage employees to reach out to their People Partners and Country Managers, as they’re always available to provide guidance and support. We truly appreciate the time you spent with us and your thoughtful insights. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors, and we hope you’ll continue to follow TravelPerk’s journey.

      Cons

      with many tech companies there are constant changes and needing to adapt to those changes. The company is relatively young so there are growing pains that come with that

      Pros

      -Clear career growth path at Perk! The company is very transparent about the steps to become either an AE, AM, or IS after being an SDR. Perk is fast-growing and the opportunities are endless. They’re always adding new roles you can become after being in an entry-level role. -Product: One of the best products in the industry. Customers love talking about their business travel process, and it’s an easy product to be passionate about. My personal experience with our product is seamless and exactly how we market it. -Work-Life Balance: Extremely attainable. I have not once felt like I have to overwork myself or continue my work at home, which is a night and day difference from my previous job! -Hybrid-Work: 3 days in-real-life, and 2 days remote. Also 20 work-from-anywhere days as they encourage us to travel. Compensation: Extremely good. Base salary is at industry standard. Commission is uncapped and targets are very attainable to receive a 100%+ commission check. -Culture is unmatched! Extremely friendly sales team always looking to help and coach others in sales. Perk is very straightforward in how they envision their culture/environment. -Yearly company trip to Barcelona, Spain! And chances to travel and work out of other offices.

      Cons

      None that I can think of!
