      Fun parties, poor pay, cult-like - Software Engineer Perk Employee Review

      Pros

      All employees get flown to Barcelona a few times a year, huge parties are thrown at great expense (the expense being your low salary). There are many very talented engineers here to learn from

      Cons

      There is a cult-like feel to the place. The CEO's public political views on the ongoing Middle East conflict, created a divisive and uncomfortable atmosphere. Pay is poor relative to the industry, infrequent promotion opportunities. London employees are expected to go to the office 3 times a week, but teams are split across locations so you will often not work with most people in the office

      Great work-life balance clear path for promo and multiple career path options really good people Fun events always happening, the company cares about it's employees and wants everyone to collab and work as a team

      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!

      It is fantastic to see that you have enjoyed your experience working with us in Chicago! We are thrilled to hear that you are finding the SDR role so rewarding and that our career paths, product, and work-life balance are resonating with you. We are particularly pleased that you are embracing our in-real-life philosophy and hybrid model of working by taking advantage of the "work-from-anywhere" days. Our goal is to foster a culture where collaboration in the office and flexibility go hand-in-hand. It’s also great to know that the supportive coaching from your teammates is helping you reach your goals. Thank you for being such a passionate advocate for Perk. We look forward to seeing you grow with us for a long time to come!
