Pros
- This was my first job out of college, and I learned a ton. Like most BDR roles, it gave me a strong foundation of transferable skills that I still use today. - The BDR team at the time was awesome—I genuinely enjoyed working with them every day. - Unlimited PTO was a great perk. I never had to worry about getting time off when I needed it.
Cons
- There was a serious lack of direction and stability. Quotas and metrics changed constantly, often with little to no explanation. It felt like leadership was grasping at straws to fix deeper business issues—and putting the burden on entry-level employees to figure it out. - The BDR team was regularly blamed for the company’s poor performance, yet no real resources or support were given to help us succeed. - We spent countless hours in mandatory trainings that didn’t align with our day-to-day work, and then we were penalized when performance dipped—despite that time being taken away from actual prospecting. - Commission structures changed frequently, and in some cases, pay was retroactively reduced. This felt not only unprofessional but potentially illegal. The week before they laid off the whole team our commission was changed so they did not have to pay us out fully once we were gone. I should have received over 300 dollars for that month and was only paid out 130. - I’ve never experienced the kind of disrespect from upper leadership that I did in this role. One example: the former CTO once came over during our lunch break (which we were working through) and cursed at us for chatting. I remember sitting at my desk wondering what was happening and just so floored that he was using explicit language at entry level employees that were not even under him. The head of HR walked by while we were being reprimanded, the former CTO made a joke about how he could say whatever he wanted and didnt give a - about HR. Eventually, the entire U.S. BDR team was laid off and replaced with a lower-cost team in the UK. When I first joined, I genuinely believed in the company. Over time, it became clear that there was no real direction or care for employee well-being. Turnover was constant, and nearly every departing entry-level employee shared the same feedback: this place is a mess. I’ve been in my new role for only a week, and I’m already floored by how different—and healthier—this work environment is. Please think twice before joining. You deserve better.
