Pros

-Commuter/gym reimbursement and coffee/beer/snacks -Powerful product in a growing market

Cons

As an SDR, you're expected to work extremely long hours prospecting and sourcing new opportunities for an assigned Account Executive. Meanwhile, many of the AEs are in the office MUCH LESS and basically sit around waiting for you to provide them with new discovery calls and demos. Furthermore, there is a blatant disregard for professional development within the sales organization as they continue to externally hire AEs without considering the amount of time invested by SDRs to prepare themselves for the next step (not to mention the specific product/industry knowledge developed in the SDR role). The SDR team also rolls under the marketing department instead of the sales department which creates a significant disconnect and drags the SDRs in two different directions. Within the company as a whole, there is a little too much patting on the back and hubris in general.

I'm sorry the experience wasn't what you were looking for, but thank you for sharing your feedback. Not knowing when you were with us, I can share that 7 members of our existing sales team are former SDRs, 3 of whom were just promoted in Sales this January because of their stellar performance, and others have been promoted into Training or Sales Engineering. That said, we are still working very hard to continually invest in our SDR team through targeted training, the addition of a dedicated Sales Enablement Manager and comp plans that reflect the nuances of territory assignments. Our SDRs do work incredibly hard (as do the rest of CloudHealth employees) and we're entering into 2018 with complete alignment on company, departmental and individual goals. If we seem overly excited about the company and our mission, it's because we're proud to be part of high-performing teams harnessing the biggest technology trend in a generation as we build something incredible (and our careers) here at CloudHealth. Kristen Tronsky, HR Director @ CloudHealth Technologies

Pros

Startups always preach about the "culture" and how important it is to their success. However, at CloudHealth that mentality really goes beyond culture and really embodies a family-like mentality. I enjoyed every minute of my time with the organization and truly felt at home. My co-workers were dear friends and we spent time together in the office, as well as on the weekends - and this spanned to other departments and employees I didn't see on a daily basis as well. From company outings, to happy hours, to playing sports together and socializing on the weekend it really is a close-knit unit here. Everyone is friendly and cares about the company, as well as those who work for it across the board. I would 100% recommend CloudHealth to anyone in the Boston area to take a look at. If you want to be part of the exciting high-growth stage of an organization - this is the place for you. During my tenure at CloudHealth I was able to learn the skills and tools necessary to be highly successful, and was fortunate enough to be able to travel on behalf of the organization as well; and represent CloudHealth at trade-shows and on-site meetings. These experiences were crucial in helping me transition within my own career, due to a relocation for family, and I cannot thank them enough for everything that I was able to learn.

Cons

This is my honest opinion here: there are none. If you are willing to put forth the effort and work your behind off, this organization will give you all the necessary tools to advance your career and be highly successful in whatever career path you choose to take with CloudHealth.
