Cons
Capped at 150% while a lot of competitors having a cap around 300% to uncapped. Recent promoted BDR's to Renewals Rep avg tenture has been 2.5-3 years in BDR seat. AE roles typically filled externally. Heavy install base with limited accounts leads to battling with partners for opportunity/ASV creation to hit numbers. Comp plan has changed every quarter this year Turnover in the BDR org is starting to climb. Surprisingly not a large sales org to promote into after the BDR seat, most AE roles are for 5+ exp reps.
