IDX: 25 TOT: 84
How does Phenom handle HR issues?
haven't been here long enough.
How does Phenom measure success and growth in the Sales department?
by numbers, metrics and effort.
What skills do you need to be successful in the Sales department at Phenom?
Assertive, willing to learn every day, aggressive but not too aggressive, not afraid to fail, personable, driven.
How are layoffs handled in the Sales department at Phenom?
Professionally. It's a numbers driven business and if you're not hitting your number or underperforming, you shouldn't need to be warmed by your manager you should know yourself that your performance wasn't good enough.
How are the career growth opportunities on the Sales team at Phenom?
The opportunities are there and they're not just linear moves like just promotion from an SDR to a Sr. SDR. You can do different type of sales so maybe you went from SDR to Sales Engineer. Probably not but you never know because anything is possible at Phenom.
Does Phenom have a volunteer program?
I'm not 100$ sure but I do know the SDRs volunteered around Christmas helped load gifts for underprivileged kids in a church. I also know that every birthday, the person who's bday it is gets to choose an organization to donate to.
How innovative is Phenom?
As innovative as it gets.
How often do promotions happen at Phenom?
From what I've seen in my short time here, very often. At least 3-4 SDRs have been promoted in the past few months.
What are the most important soft skills I need to be successful at Phenom?
attentive, always willing to learn and grow, provide solid input, driven, dedicated, hard-worker, selfless.
What is the best advice you could give someone during their first month at Phenom?
Be fearless. Don't be afraid of messing up- the best way to learn is to just go for it, make mistakes and then learn from/correct the mistakes. For SDR's specifically, you have to have no fear when it comes to cold calling. Don't be timid when your peers are listening to you, they're not out to make fun of you, they're there to help and new people have to understand you're not expected to get 10 discos off the bat, that'd be awesome, but not realistic. Patience is my second piece of advice. New people need to understand it's a process as you have to learn a technology product, you have to learn the pitch and you have to learn how to combine those two and be ready for counter questions. It takes time and you can't put too much pressure on yourself right away if it's not clicking as quick as you may like. It'll all come together in time, just have to understand it will take time.
What benefits does Phenom provide?
While working to achieve the company's mission and objectives, I'm provided the opportunity to shape and mold my career trajectory based on personal interests.
How flexible is your work schedule at Phenom?
we have adequate flexibility and work life balance is good
What's the office layout like at Phenom?
Innovative, bright and energetic
What's the Sales team like at Phenom?
As an SDR, it's tough work and not the most glamorous job but we make the most of it. As a team, we're tight-knit and a relatively fun bunch. We like to make jokes and poke fun at each other and goof off from time to time. However, we know it takes a lot of grind to be successful so we're good at supporting and pushing eachother. We're definitely a team and like to work together to make eachother better.
How's the leadership on the Sales team at Phenom?
For the SDRs it's pretty good. Each team has a different leader who is our peer and works alongside us but has a bit more success and experience. Generally very helpful and supportive. You can ask a lot of questions and expect plenty of guidance. Our Director provides some help but doesn't typically get involved much. The VP of Sales is awesome - very passionate and knowledge but you don't get as much exposure to him as an SDR as you would if you were an Enterprise Rep.
What's the vibe like in the Sales dept at Phenom? How many hours are you working?
SDR role - Management gives you the tools to be successful and then it's up to you how you want to organize your day and go about getting meetings. There's structure but you can also do whatever works best for you. We do have a quota but it's more for encouragement and benchmarking yourself rather than stressing out and rushing to hit numbers. The team is really great - it's a very casual and friendly work environment and we all work together and support eachother. Hours typically range from 8:30am to 5:30pm, Monday through Friday but it's really flexible as long as you're getting your work done.
How's the work life balance at Phenom?
Great!
