Pros

-Among a certain cohort Conductor has an unbelievable retention record with 6 to 10 year tenures not uncommon. If you love the culture, you can make a home here. -Big fish in a small pond - they're really one of 2 or 3 main competitors in the SEO space. -The founders are fundamentally good people and genuinely try to do the right thing.

Cons

-Promotions often happen within said cohort, so middle management has limited outside experience. This leads to severe blindspots and process issues that are quickly apparent to newcomers. -High turnover rates among stronger new hires, with tenure ranging from just 4 months to a max of 2 years for more experienced AE hires. -Poor structure for the training and internal promotions of employees. It's common to see MDRs be promoted and promptly fired for missing goals. Some might understand this as management setting them up for failure. -Sales org unable to structure their teams in a way that allows them to hit goals. Management seem to lack conviction in their strategy and change the sales model every 6 months or so. Not even a handful of reps or teams end up achieving their overall goals as a result.

Pros

Good experience with the people so far, feel like everyone is generally friendly and it's a small enough company that it's easy to connect with people to learn about their positions. Good experiences so far with managers who are generally warm and friendly. Relatively good work life balance, you work remotely all month of August and you can travel.

Cons

Biggest con personally is the low pay, just among the lowest you can make in a starting position and it takes about 1.5-2 years to scale into a better place as an SDR which is odd to me because its a position that on average folks spend that amount of time in before moving up. I believe it causes higher turnover in the first year as an SDR and would love to see a higher starting pay and clearer path forward to improve motivation and retention. I also wish they had mentioned in the interview that commission is 50% taxed, I understand this is common practice but didn't feel like there was great transparency on this. Lastly, feel like theres an unbalanced approach to in person office culture, it doesn't seem to be applied equally across all teams (for instance the Sales team seems to have the most pressure to be in person, most other teams it seems are are able to work remotely more flexibly). Just makes it confusing when you can ask to work remotely due to weather or personal reasons, only to show up and find that you are the only one in office which can be frustrating and cause unnecessary tension.
