Pros

None - except maybe hybrid working if that is something you care about

Cons

Many. Based on my experience, I would not recommend joining the Enterprise Solutions SDR team. The role was very different from what I expected an SDR position to be. Rather than focusing primarily on prospecting, client engagement, and pipeline generation, much of the work centred on renewals, administrative tasks, and Salesforce management. Opportunities to develop core SDR skills or engage directly with clients felt limited, despite expectations around activity and performance. I also found the management style frustrating. In my experience, communication often felt overly focused on micromanagement rather than coaching and professional development. I didn't feel supported, and I found it difficult to raise concerns or challenge decisions constructively. Following my departure, I understand the compensation structure changed from commission to a bonus model, with higher targets. From what I've been told, this made it more difficult to earn variable compensation than under the previous structure. Overall, I found the team to be poorly organised, and the role did not provide the level of sales experience or career development I was hoping for. If you're looking for a traditional SDR position focused on business development and customer engagement, I'd encourage you to ask detailed questions about the day-to-day responsibilities and performance expectations before accepting an offer.onus after tax.

Pros

Benefits were nice, pay was acceptable

Cons

Good luck using unlimited PTO or taking paternal leave, this company is bleeding talent from self inflicted wounds and replacing it as quick as possible with folks in India or APAC. I at this company for years and only encountered 1 leader with a spine that cared about people. S&P immediately cut DEI after trump was elected and relabeled everything to “people first” but it’s hard to see where the people are first in any category. CEO is out of touch along with most leaders once they hit director level. This company is another example of using AI to replace people and the product is sloppy. Once something is “automated” they fire at least 25% of the team. I would encourage you to stay job hunting even if you accept a role at this company, never forget you are a number at S&P.
