SDR: Don't Work Here - Sales Development Representative (SDR) AlphaSense Employee Review

Thank you for your review. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed our product, training, management, and team environment. It’s true that 2022 and 2023 so far have been years of massive growth for AlphaSense and therefore, the SDR team. The opportunity we have as a business is vast and our territories and books of business are always growing. Regarding quota attainability, we did have the majority of our team hit their meeting targets last year. SDR management has an open-door policy, and we encourage people who have concerns about their quota attainability to speak with their managers directly. We are transparent about the promotion process internally. While there is no set timeline in months to complete before getting promoted, we do have a levels program in the SDR organization in which SDRs hit performance achievements to move up in levels within the organization. Once they reach level 4, they are eligible to participate in Sales Academy and can interview for promotion within the organization. We have an internal job board to help be transparent about which roles are open for application, and we regularly communicate new opportunities as they open. As an action we have taken to create even more opportunities for promotion, we recently created a new Senior SDR position to create more frequent opportunities for advancement within the team. If you’d like to discuss further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me internally or on LinkedIn. -Matt Alfano, Director, Sales Development
