Pros

The pro is this review because I can't think of a single pro except for the monthly WFH stipend.

Cons

This was the worst job I've ever had in my entire life. The work culture is so toxic and cutthroat, people will step over everyone, cross every line, and lie to hit quota. It's every SDR for themselves, you can't trust anyone (including the managers) because it's so unorganized that no one ever has any idea of what's going on. The favoritism is so apparent that every SDR may as well have a sign on their back - I've never seen anything like it. The "favorites" can get away with just about anything (skipping meetings, not hitting daily KPIs, etc), but if you're not a favorite - watch out. You will be held under a microscope and get pinged from your manager constantly. The workload is beyond unattainable in an 8-hour workday; OT is expected every single day (which has been explicitly said in sales org meetings). The sales team has become a sinking ship with no morale, and leadership has threatened and instilled fear into everyone. ^ on top of all, SDRs are so extremely underpaid and the base salary said during the hiring process is not what you'll actually be making. It's not a livable wage and everyone else I know is making $25k+ more than I did working at Brex.
