Pros

-My passionate, intelligent, and tenacious co-workers make every day not only bearable, but enjoyable. We’re able to laugh and support each other through the hard times while simultaneously celebrating our wins. Grateful for the long-lasting friendships that I’ve made and the camaraderie that is within GD culture. -I’ve been lucky enough to experience ample support via my personal development and growth; the change and expansion that we’ve been through has provided me with invaluable business and life lessons that I’ll take with me throughout my career -Robert frequently communicates with the org to ensure we’re all deeply emboldened by our mission and able to keep the long-term goals in mind. Recent feedback regarding unattainable quotas has been acknowledged and addressed with recent incentives to boost morale

Cons

-At the beginning of 2016, we embarked to become the number 1 jobs site in the world. What we didn’t prepare for was a complete restructure in our client services org and large pitfalls in our jobs product/performance that we still haven’t repaired. In turn, this has created significant hardships for the growth and CS team as they scramble to deliver recruitment ROI. -Extreme lack of communication between SOPS, new biz, growth, and client services has led to the development of processes and procedures that pit varying departments against each other. Cancellable deals, growth’s lack of knowledge with jobs, new biz setting false client expectations, implementation attempting to build custom employer brands, CS receiving training for branding conversations that growth is already having are all long-term problems we are currently fixing with band-aids. -Culture has shifted due to loss of key internal players that added energy and grit to the sales floor. Need to find new way to recognize those that not only perform via the numbers, but go above and beyond to add value to the culture and development of our teams and org as a whole. This will allow employees to grasp on to another purpose even when performance might be low. Due to recent internal changes, AE’s in MV are struggling to adjust to a new morale that is tainted by micromanagement and distrust, which is fostering an unproductive and anxious environment. AM’s needs are often overlooked or put off to prioritize bringing on new business and the lack of resources is impacting the ability to retain.

I love what you said about the employee's ability to not only pinpoint the problems, but to bring valuable solutions to the table. We've made a lot of changes with in Sales, many of those changes were focused on getting this right by the team. My door is alway open, and I really do want you to bring me your solutions. You made some really insightful points about recognition and I agree we need to do more of this. I'd love to hear your ideas. Feel free to reach out to me directly.

SDR Mill Valley- A Sinking Ship

Pros

The coworkers, dogs in the office, and free lunch are great. This used to be a great place to work a year ago and I believe that it has the potential to be that again.

Cons

1. Morale- What you are reading in previous reviews about poor morale on the sales floor is echoed by the SDR team. No one wants to be in the office due to the depressing atmosphere and it is shown by empty desks. 2. Management- Managers are hardly ever in the office and offer very little support. They take long vacations and spend very little time with their teams. When they do spend time with their teams there is very little coaching. 3. Compensation- Comp is low compared to other SDR roles in the Bay Area. When this was pointed out in a previous review management defended the low pay as being close to the national average. Unfortunately rent and living expenses in San Francisco are nowhere near the national average and the sad truth is that most of the SDRs can barely afford to live on the pay even when they are hitting full quota. When I took this job it seemed like an okay income for a year but raises and promotions are hard to come in this role, you can make more doing the same thing elsewhere. 4. Quota- Quota is high and it keeps going up. The team members who are hitting these quotas are working outside of work hours making it seem like this is obtainable and forcing others to do the same. Often there are factors outside of the SDR's control that affect ability to hit quota and SQLs are loosely defined and up to the individual rep discretion. Once you have a bad month it is very hard to make up for it and get back on track for promotion. 5. Processes- It seems like every month new processes and regulations are rolled out and that upper management is trying to make their mark on the program by making unnecessary changes. The majority of these processes have been poorly executed, time consuming, and unnecessary. It just keeps getting harder to earn our measly income to (barely) pay the rent. 6. Career Advancement- Unrealistic expectations were set for career advancement. My advice to people interested in joining the team- ONLY take this position if you are interested in joining the new business AE sales team. Any other position (including CSM, AM, marketing, PR, HR, etc) is basically unobtainable unless you are really lucky and stick around much longer.

I appreciate the feedback and I am disappointed to hear your negative experience with your role. As you are aware from our various company meetings the company is in transition as we continue to scale the business which requires changes to how we operate. I just started working more closely with the SDR team this summer and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about the issues you have detailed as I believe we are making progress in several areas.

Pros

Met a few good people along the way. Overall, nothing memorable.

Cons

I'm curious why a Glassdoor employee would rate the company a 5.0 and highlight the great people and work life balance 2 weeks after 300 of his/her colleagues got laid off. Who says that? Certainly not someone I'd want to work with. Is that who you want to work with?
