SMB is NOT the place to be...
Pros: - Legitimately great people in both quota bearing roles and directors of teams, who are trying to make the best of the scenario they are in
Cons: - Zero transparency from the AVP level and above down to Directors and Sales Executives. The result is that the sales team and its respective leaders were left searching for answers most of the time, which was evident right after the NetSuite acquisition
- A business development team hired straight out of college that lacks the motivation to perform at a high level. There are rare exceptions within the groups, but most of them treat the position as a 5th year of college. Very common site on the floor for them to start cracking beers and slacking off by 1pm on a Friday
- Micro-Managing directors that analyze each and every call members of their team, so much to the point of making quota bearing reps into pseudo-BDRs to set meetings for their directors, due to the lack of faith the director has in his or her team
- An overall air of negativity that permeates around the office at all times
