Pros

You get paid an income. The team I worked with were a really nice group of people.

Cons

I have never been made to feel useless in my job until starting at N-able. When being recruited, you are told 8 weeks of on-boarding live sessions and easy-to-watch videos to properly get into the role... Sounds great right? Well I hope you enjoy 4 weeks of no live sessions, 3 hour long videos about content that isn't relevant to you and then being thrown in the deep end with the phrase "Ask questions if you need it" blasted into your brain with no idea of what you should be asking in the first place. Because that's exactly what you get here at N-able. I was told frequently "You're doing really well, look how far you've come in X months!" Only to then be told the next day that I was doing nowhere near enough and had to improve. This company will break your confidence. Management look into every little thing you do and if it isn't exactly what they would do, the job might as well not be done. The biggest case of helicopter management I've ever seen. I feel as though I have wasted my time here as the only things I actually learned, I had to go and look for myself. But then it wasn't enough anyway.

Pros

Working as an SDR at N-able gives you strong exposure to the cybersecurity and IT operations space. You get to learn about real industry challenges like endpoint security, backup and disaster recovery, and remote monitoring solutions that IT teams rely on every day. The SDR role really sharpens your outbound prospecting abilities. You learn how to navigate conversations with IT leaders such as CIOs, IT Directors, and Security leaders. If you're someone who enjoys developing your discovery skills, asking thoughtful questions, and learning how technology solves business problems, this role can accelerate that growth. There is also a strong emphasis on activity and pipeline generation, which helps build discipline in sales development. The experience is valuable if you want to grow into an Account Executive role or continue in cybersecurity sales.

Cons

Like most SDR roles, the environment is metrics-driven and fast-paced. There can be a heavy focus on call activity and outreach volume, which may feel intense for people who prefer slower sales cycles or less outbound work. Because cybersecurity is a complex space, it can take time to become comfortable with the technology and messaging, especially for people new to IT infrastructure or managed services.
