Pros

- Great work culture and atmosphere - Very intelligent people to learn from - Generally a very pleasant place to work - Average Compensation

Cons

There are some very controlling long tenure leads/middle management who seem to be so afraid of losing control as the result of new development processes introduced. This causes progress to be seriously inhibited. This has generated somewhat of a toxic and frustrating work environment as of late. Emotions run high and so does reversion of the status quo.

Thank you for reviewing Absorb Software. We are very pleased that you enjoy the work culture and atmosphere and agree that there are some very intelligent people at Absorb. Our new development process are being lead from the top down and we have made serious investments in training and implementing these changes which you have undoubtedly seen. As they have been only implemented for a few weeks they will take time to become the new norm for everyone. By ensuring that progress is controlled, we can then be sure that development continues without undue setbacks. With that being said, new processes are there for a reason, so we will work to ensure there is a proper balance of caution and enthusiasm. Thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts.

Pros

I’ve been working as an SDR at Absorb LMS for about three months now, and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Coming into my first role in tech sales, I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially after hearing how challenging and sometimes discouraging others’ first experiences can be, but this has been the complete opposite. I’ve been able to ramp up much faster than I anticipated, and a huge part of that comes down to the support system here. The managers and my colleagues are incredibly approachable and genuinely invested in helping each other succeed. It’s a very comfortable environment where asking for help or guidance is encouraged, not judged, and that’s allowed me to grow and improve at a much faster pace. In just a short time, I’ve already seen strong personal progress, and it’s equally motivating to see others on my team achieving success as well. That shared momentum creates a really energizing atmosphere where everyone is pushing to get better and celebrating each other’s wins along the way. One thing that really stands out is how much the company values performance and recognizes achievements. Wins, big or small, are acknowledged and celebrated in a way that keeps you motivated and striving to maintain that level of success. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction into tech sales. This role has not only been a great learning experience but also a very encouraging one. It’s given me confidence in my ability to grow within this field, and I’m excited to continue developing my skills and eventually work toward becoming an AE.

Cons

Pros

When I first joined Absorb, I was really shocked at how nice, genuine, and helpful everyone (regardless of their team or department) was. Now that I've been here for more than a handful of months, that no longer surprises me, but it still rings true. There really are no egos here, and I've never experienced a company culture quite like that before. On the Account Management side, this makes a huge difference to how we can help drive customer success, as everyone leans in to work together cross-functionally. Recently, there have been some changes on the Account Management side with books being rebalanced so that each AM has more balance based on their segment, and so that customers get the best support. Throughout this process, leadership has transparently communicated, set up multiple calls to answer questions, built out resources, and aimed to make the transition as seamless as possible both for AMs as well as customers. I've had the chance to partner with other teams on projects, the opportunities to get involved in areas that you are passionate about at Absorb are definitely there, just need to raise your hand and make it known! The positive culture and changes on the AM side, as well as the opportunities to get involved in additional projects, make every day exciting.

Cons

The only cons for me are that I wish we had unlimited PTO (although, the PTO policy is generous, I think this piece is more so personal preference) and that Slack/Google was used instead of the Microsoft suite.
