Pros

Progressive tech company with decent vacation

Cons

Constant restructuring of the sales team makes it impossible to grow. Constant restructuring of commercial offerings makes your customers mad. Most of my time spent on calls was with disgruntled customers, trying to convince them to stick with Bentley. Management is so concerned with making themselves look good and making sure their numbers in the CRM are where their manager wants them to be that they’ll do anything, including making up phone calls that didn’t actually take place. The software is overpriced and the capabilities are not compelling enough to get users to move to the latest version, forcing customers to pay for software they don’t even use. Every 3 months approximately 3 - 10 people from the sales group get fired without any fair warning which puts the whole sales floor on edge and makes everyone want to leave for fear of job security. I can honestly say being let go from Bentley was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Good luck to anyone still surviving Bentley sales and anyone looking for new employment should look elsewhere.

Pros

- Not much to say, except that the product portfolio is varied and highly recognized in the industry. Hence more opportunities - Internal knowledge base is readily available for reference, hence know-how transfer is easy for new employees - Decent pay and bonus distribution - Well maintained offices and good infrastructure

Cons

- Tiresome recruitment process, long waiting times - False job descriptions and zero transparency about working conditions (e.g. you may be asked to start working in night shifts suddenly) - You may be hired for some role, which may be changed overnight, and you will be asked to do something which you do not enjoy doing, with the threats of being fired - The know-how transfer from experienced colleagues in the US and Europe is highly erratic, the Indian teams are not valued and are treated unfairly - Specific to our team, a new Director was appointed, someone with no management experience who had been a Consultant throughout their career, and this led to our decline - The Director made life hell for us (only the Indian team because we were held in low regard compared to the teams in the US, Europe, and Australia i.e. heavy discrimination) - As a result of this, there was high attrition (around 10 people resigned in a span of 6 months) - Many new joiners resigned in less than 6 months owing to the pathetic working conditions and no work-life balance - No work from home policy - We were made to work only in the evening and night shifts against our wishes - The HR is practically absent in all of this, if you take your concerns to them, it will backfire on you. Your job will be threatened. - The HR is scared to take any concerns to higher management (fear of their own job)
