Good money, but awful everything else

Business development executive

CEO approval

Pros

Strong base Salary& Some nice people but you must stay away!

Cons

The management are pretty much all croneys for the CEO and they fire 10-20% of people on a whim every 6 months. The product is a bit snake-oilish and they encourage you to stretch the truth very very thin. There is a lot of problems with the culture, and whilst some people succeed, it's often because they are talented anyway, not because of the company. The CEO, CRO, COO and VPs have all changed in the last 12 months. Talent has been stripped away. It's a boiler room with set dials, aggressive (but unnecessary) KPIs focused on volume over quality. Honestly, dark ages of sales enablement. Zero trust in the organisation and you can only progress if you aggressively glug the coolaid.

Thanks for your review and its good to hear you were encouraged to perform at your best. I am sorry you felt pay was not equitable and can reassure that all roles are salary banded for parity as well as GDS carrying out annual pay reviews.
