What is the hiring process like at MemoryBlue?

I've been working at MemoryBlue Austin office for three months and have loved every bit of it! My manger Joey Estrada has been supportive and helpful in the start of my sales career and the office culture is everything I could have asked for when getting a job out of college. MemoryBlue offers a clear path to promotion and also allows the option for you to work for any campaigns your on that hire you out. I honestly don't have any negatives for the job so far!

No cons! The job requirements are laid out for you during the interview process and are very easy to accomplish!

Used to be the best place for hustlers to work. Now, it’s a joke. This place is kept alive by the last five people with a conscience and delivery managers who are working four jobs at once with minimal training but have a lot of heart (which is largely taken advantage of). I will say, in the Delivery Manager and SDR role, you will make a lot of money if you work extremely hard and take on the most work but, at what cost?

You know that feeling when you’re in a bad dream, know you’re dreaming, yet can’t seem to wake up? That is what working at memoryBlue is like. If you are ready to get brainwashed and gaslighted into thinking this is the best sales job on the market, told that no other company has as many connections as you, and lied to that there’s no training opportunities outside of their four walls, then this is the place for you. If that sounds like your worst nightmare, keep reading for more. This place used to be a beacon of opportunity for those who worked hard and produced results. Now, it has become a laughing stock in the tech industry due to poor upper management, and poor hiring as a result of a hiring spree that occurred. Managers were forced to make awful hiring decisions due to angry clients not getting work in time; managers at the time could no longer take on that work, which led to unseasoned and underqualified SDRs getting promoted to an extremely taxing position. This ultimately led to a weakened and diluted reputation of mB which is only getting worse with time. Once investors got involved, it was truly game over and upper management has zero control over business decisions. Ever since a former colleague left a one-star review (with stats and evidence) on November 6th, memoryBlue's glassdoor page has been littered with inflated 5-star reviews that are either fake, begged for, or left by people who have been absolutely brainwashed. Kind of suspect that all recent reviews are 5 stars. I used to absolutely be in love with my work at memoryBlue but still wouldn't have rated it above a 4 on a good day... just food for thought! If you are an SDR, opportunities outside of memoryBlue are: another SDR gig with potentially zero promised growth paths, ISR, or AE if you absolutely knock your number out of the park and get lucky. If you're an AE, there's a pretty good chance you could land another AE role but you'll get pushback for not having any SaaS selling experience. If you are a DM, you better hit the jackpot or you're out starting at an SDR role again. Not that there's anything wrong with that if you're getting into a tech that you're interested in, although memoryBlue will use you as an example for a "failure." Along with the DM role or in any other leadership position, you will have to work 10x your competition since your experience barely translates to one role and memoryBlue will not help you in your search. memoryBlue has been calling former employees and asking for POSITIVE, not honest, reviews on Glassdoor due to the negative and true feedback they have received. Not only is this unethical, but it shows that they aren’t committed to solving their problems, only blanketing them to win candidates who will inevitably quit once the curtain falls. I used to genuinely think that the negative reviews on here were only from bitter ex-employees who left on bad terms and have nothing better to do (because that’s what we were brainwashed to believe). Now, I am taking time out of my busy day to warn those of you who are considering working here. If you are a former employee, please speak up as well with your HONEST experience. This cannot continue to happen for the sake of their current employees who, despite the clear issues, stick around for a “better mB” or in hopes of it becoming “the good ole days” again. If you’re currently at mB and feel like you’re stuck in a bad dream and can’t wake up, I urge you to reach out for help and jump ship before it takes you down with it and self-implodes. Good jobs ARE out there for you, best of luck! PS. They fired the only person with a backbone and a brain in upper management right before she was supposed to come back from maternity leave.

Don't need any experience Some of the best training you can get Actually hiring unlike many of the other tech companies out there Manager was a great mentor and could not ask for anything else

Business model is built for turnover at the company Pay is awful

Incredible work culture, lots of work events in and out of the office. People are very helpful and supportive through the process.

Need more leniency on WFH because some people just need it because of how far they live or the traffic is so bad. Need to be more professional sometimes and need to have a strict line between people in the workplace.

I spent the first 9 months post-grad at mB Austin office. During my time here I learned so many unique sales techniques that have helped me get ahead in my current job. The culture of the office was probably my favorite part of my time there. Everyone is so warm and welcoming and wants you to succeed. I got hired out by my client after consulting for them for 4 months. I am so grateful for memoryBlue because it allowed me to work in the field I always wanted. The DM’s truly know what they are doing when coaching their team. My DM and MD were amazing. They both supported me the entire time I was there and helped me communicate with my client that I would like to be hired out. Every person in that office is there to support you. We would have office-wide call evals to coach SDRs on their calls. Everyone comes ready to give constructive feedback and helps you find ways to improve. I really would not be where I am today in my professional career if it weren't for memoryBlue!

One con I have is I would have liked to see mB asking incoming SDRs what tech sector they were most passionate about. I know that we do not always get to choose what comes into the pipeline but I think that might help SDRs get more excited about their client and work towards getting hired out.

Fantastic place to start a career in Sales, if you are willing to put in the work. Through out my time as an SDR I received great training on the basics of cold calling and how to prospect efficiently. The training being product agnostic has allowed me to continue to apply that knowledge in my current role. Coming to memoryBlue with a clear "why" in sales and using the experience as a tool to ultimately land a better job or get hired out, will lead you to have a good experience.

Pay is lower , but training makes up for it. Some campaigns can be harder than others due to types of prospect, product offering - that said, managers do their best to make quotas fair.
