Bentley Systems reviews

It is very hard to advance internally. Once you are in a role, you seem to get stuck there and do not get a career path going for you. Salary level is lover than at our peers and in other IT companies.

New organizational structure formed in 2016 has created duplication, confusion, lack of communication, silos, departments competing with other departments, etc... a train wreck waiting to happen with energy being consumed on internal processes vs. productive, client facing, revenue generating activities. Company morale is at an all-time low. Newly appointed executive "leadership" (Sales, HR, etc) that came about with the reorg have little to no leadership skills and treat employees like sheep. Upper & middle management can no longer make decisions on behalf of what's best for their team, the company or clients. Promotions are given not on qualification but those who make better "yes" men. Colleagues below the executive c-level are not empowered... including sales SVP’s and VP's from the "old regime". Executives who know our business, the clients and industries we serve (who once ran a successful business for Bentley) are no longer valued or empowered to make decisions related to sales, services, compensation, etc. Approval for anything is controlled at the highest level or by financial operations. Good ol' boys club continues to be in play and HR plays the game with the boys. We are losing our best colleagues to other companies... or they are "checked-out". True sales talent, who know the industry and have long standing relationships with accounts, are not wanted or valued by the new executive management team. Many have lost faith in the company.
