Pros

Some of the people at / who were with the company I will remain friends with or connected. I got some good connections out of my time and mentorship.

Cons

Terrible handling of global business ventures and team structuring and integration - especially in protected classes. I’ve never faced so much shame and discrimination and escalations without real cause for setting normal and proper boundaries to avoid working 7 days a week. The company can’t decide what the actual growth trajectory is and what fields / clients are profitable. Bad reputation amongst top spend clients. No investment on enhancing technology. Inability to PR spin every major failure and relies on name dropping partnerships for credibility when it is not actually backed by facts (ironic for a company that is based on tech/analytics and results). Unless you are a typical tech bro, you will be constantly battling internal parties who should be your considered your team and you will leave feeling shamed and isolated for calling out misbehavior even by the HR director. Leaders lack general business knowledge and ethics for their baseless pricing markups that cheat their clients.

Pros

- If you’re in Austin, the people and activities are a ton of fun, and the office is beautiful. - The DEI task force is doing some great work. - Hours are quite flexible and WFH is not an issue.

Cons

- The pay is quite frankly embarrassing compared to other tech companies. By leaving, I was able to double my salary. - Management has a slew of issues - favoritism, borderline discriminatory when it comes to salary and opportunities, and a lot of micromanagement. Constantly talking about how much money they and the company have, but refuse to give anything more than a 3% raise. - The attrition is concerning and causes a lot of pain points for employees that do stick around- since acquiring Curalate summer 2020, over 85% of their employees have left. - Sales is known to lie to close a deal - good luck if you work with clients post-sale. - Support is largely located out of the US even though a majority of clients are US based. There are constant complaints of extremely slow response times and inaccurate answers.

Not a good time to join the Client Care department

Pros

Bazaarvoice is the best company I've ever worked for. You can really tell that they value their employees. From the moment I walked through the front door I knew that I had found the company for me. There is food catered in often, and at the end of each quarter there is a celebration of some sort. They still have a start up vibe even though being around for a while.

Cons

I know I spoke highly of Bazaarvoice above and that is why it is with a heavy heart I have to post this review, because people need to know what is going on in the Client Care department. When I started in the Client Care department, we had leadership that knew how to balance employee happiness and Client satisfaction. Then we got new leadership that just didn't get it. They came in trying to fix things that weren't broken. Our entire department was already providing one of the best client service experiences out there. Anyone who knows anything about Customer Service knows you can't achieve perfection because there will always be those customers that expect unattainable results, but it seems like that is not understood, so everyone in the department is driven to achieve unrealistic goals making people just not care. Our bonuses have been virtually nonexistent due to these goals. A reign of micromanagement has begun as well, and that is making everyone in the department miserable. We are all intelligent capable people that are good at our jobs and we do not need to have every move we make scrutinized. I usually go with the flow and keep my head down but something recently happened that has made me decide to speak up. A member of leadership publicly berated one of my co-workers about a private issue, that should never happen in a professional environment. Right now I would not recommend anyone come to work for Bazaarvoice in the Client Care Department, the pay is not worth the stress right now.
