Avantages

Getting to know the technical space and learn a great product. If you are willing to grind with late nights, sometimes even prepping on sundays, without little to no return depending on your circumstances (territory, manager, account list) then this is right for you.

Inconvénients

Not a 9-5 job. Get ready to be your own BDR and dedicate a ton of time to outbound PG but also work on closing and following up with opportunities. Some help from SDR side, on average they would send over 1 call a month. If your manager is an outside hire, you could be at a huge disadvantage. Good accounts to work are scarce so hitting weekly goals is rare for the entire floor. Quota is unrealistic, 10-15 % of reps hitting their number. Flight risk is HIGH especially for new hires this past year. Its true that the rich get richer and the newer people drown or month over month just spin their wheels here. Unfortunately a huge lack of diversity and overdue efforts towards diversity and inclusion. Peoples team kept promising change on that side and took down ideas from folks but seems like those ideas to make individuals feel more inclusive are just kept in a box. Lack of training for leadership on lending privilege.
