Pros

- Most employees are friendly - Helped me get my current job

Cons

- Unachievable goals with very little support and no tools to help meet targets - Micromanaged and questioned about everything, felt like walking on eggshells - Pointless meetings with no action items or insightful/motivational topics - No consistency across the company eg: slack, whatsapp, zendesk, skype, proposable, goal-setting, zoho, used CEO's Sales Navigator, Zoom Free trial, Microsoft Teams, Screen Connect, Audacity - When COVID cases were the highest, we were still obligated to come into the office, felt like my health was not prioritized and CEO thought real work could only be done from the office - Entry-level BDR role is responsible for the full sales cycle which is not industry standard and are expected to close ~ $25,000 in sales every month on their own while also cold calling, cold email campaigning, running demos, writing proposals, negotiating, - The entire company had to share one Zoom Account which was difficult to coordinate with the amount of opportunities we were expected to be creating - Opportunities had no qualification process that needed to be met to put into the pipe, to not be aggressively questioned about low opportunity rates, quantity over quality was a practice many got into the routine of doing, such as creating 3 proposals for 1 deal - No interest in investing in a software despite employees asking for it to help prospecting efforts like ZoomInfo when we were responsible for cultivating new business. Instead calling main company lines and dialling by name was practice during a time when most prospects were working from home instead money was spent cleaning a coffee stain on the carpets - Creating long-lasting relationships with prospective customers is an afterthought where as generating as much money right now is the largest concern - Quota is not adjusted during your PTO - Coffee ban at desks because of spill

Pros

Good people to work with.

Cons

All these positive reviews that have been posted of late are fakes posted by the shifty CEO or HR to boost their Glassdoor rankings. This place is a nightmare. Do yourself a favour and save yourself the headache and pain in the butt and apply somewhere else. The CEO is a liar who will sell you on what a good opportunity this is when it's a revolving door of sadness and HR violations. The post about how challenging it can be to call different time zones must be talking about when you get in at 5am to call Europe to sell their fraudulent and made up medical research reports and you are screamed at for leaving at 1:30 and not staying till 5pm when the day ends. Turn around and don't look back.

Pros

As everyone indicates, everyone except the CEO and the boot-kissing HR are really pleasant. The title is great, but not much else.

Cons

The Euro time shifts really screws up the internal clock. Despite all the "activities," nothing makes up for the crappy work, micromanaging, low-pay, boring projects, constant criticism and repeated dismissal from people we cold-call. As you "advance" in your career, more is expected from an individual within the same time constraints and with little to no pay incentive. Overtime is expected, especially when you are constantly being browbeaten by the CEO. Spying and general sneakiness is the norm, expect to be called out for taking too long for lunch or surfing the net on your "lunch break" Most people understand that this is an entry-level job, however, the CEO understands it the most and tries to squeeze the most out of a person before they inevitably crack under the pressure. When a person leaves iData, for whatever reason, they are invariably ridiculed and put down in an obviously strategic manner - this is sad because the CEO is not able to be happy for people who leave to pursue better opportunities.
