Good practice of understanding FO industry - Business Development Representative (BDR) Canopy Employee Review

great people, good salaries, great mission

small company if you want a huge impact it's a small area, but a big impact in that area.

- BIG PLUS: Flexible working arrangements (remote) --time and location. - GREAT team-mates. Everyone is super helpful and work with each other with almost no politics (no back-stabbing, no blame game) - NICE team-work. It is good now, but initially, the (new) CTO was kinda hard to work with (culture-shock for him and the team). HOWEVER, a lot has changed with time --after he got to know the team and system better. Now, it is a much better working environment. Seriously, the team is SUPER. Don't know about the other departments, but the Development team is a good environment now (kudo's to the effort put in by the CTO).

- Salary sucks (below market rate --sure, company is still in a burning-stage, but its hard to retain talent with this salary). - Bosses have difficulties sharing the long-term plan/end-goal, and action-plans. - Several key/important people left the company during the last HR shake-up (which is needed as part of a startup's journey), so a lot of knowledge, skills and history (why things are the way they are now) are missing, causing clouded system requirement/scoping. - Developers need to "fill in the blanks" due to incomplete requirements; many times doing require scoping, impact analysis. acceptance criteria --causing a lot of stress on getting it right (and easy to get things wrong). - Job INsecurity as there is little surety in the contract (1 month notice with no extra compensations)
