Excellent Place to work and build up commercial skillset
Pros
*Built up commercial skillset - coming from a science background, found it a great place to learn how the business world works, how to work under pressure, effectively negotiate and sell, etc. *Built up my confidence - early opportunity to drive your own results and learn to communicate with a range of senior executives + top-tier clients, has helped me feel confident in coaching others and stepping into leadership positions *Entrepreneurial aspect - a lot of encouragement and ownership early on to not accept one set way to do things. This has been maintained as the company scaled, meaning you can change and make things happen quickly. *People aspect - the company has revamped its hiring in recent years, doubling down on finding humble, intelligent and ambitious people. This means, despite the sales aspect of the role, it is a very collaborative place to work, as well as a fun place to work where the company actively encourages/funds teams to celebrate wins and enjoy each other's company.
Cons
*It is not for everyone; there is a target-based element too, which means there is a performance aspect to it *It is not a 9-5 job - it can be demanding, which challenges and develops you, but not for those who do not want to work in a client-facing environment.
