Do NOT work at BrightEdge

Pros

Great coworkers, good product, good location.

Cons

Never have I worked at a company with worse management. The CEO micromanages to the point that many VP's have left BE over the last year. The ones that are left, want to leave. he needs to let the VP's do their job. The turnover rate is through the roof. The recruiters can't even keep up with backfill let alone grow. So many new people, everybody is on a learning curve. BrightEdge Needs a CEO who has some people skills, knows how to run a company (didn't just start it) and replace some of the VP's that aren't VP material. Sooner or later, the Board should figure this out and do something. Be wary of good reviews out here, those are NEW employees who don't know any better and are asked to leave the reviews. They have no choice but to leave those reviews. They'll figure out and regret their decision.

Pros

You can get a gift card to write a fake review on Glassdoor. Take a look through the reviews and spot the fakes, it’s not hard.

Cons

Toxic, misleading, miserable. Outside of the executive circle I do not know one person who is happy or who has had a positive experience here. Turnover is insane for a reason. They use lies and hyperboles when recruiting and act like this is an exciting and high growth company. Not true. Before you accept a job here reach out to current and former employees on LinkedIn and ask their honest opinions. Stay away!

Pros

A very defined path to promotion (although its longer than they advertise typically), supportive AE/sales development managers that truly want you to succeed, and incredible people. All stars to the recruiting team for hiring such amazing people

Cons

PTO? Never heard of it. This company expects you to work absurdly long hours with with little to new reward. Do you love going 1 vacation a year and feeling guilty about it? If so, this is the perfect fit for you. The fact that they require their employees to take PTO for not working Christmas eve is one of the MANY cultural issues. Hit or exceed quota? You will pretty much go unrecognized unless you are one of the top 2-3 performers. want a life out of work? forget about it. BE's solution to everything is working more, working from home, working on weekends, working WHILE sick. Managers are always encouraging teams to work MORE, -outside of already working 7:30am(sometimes earlier!) to 5pm, to meet the ambitious and insane goals set by upper management. While I understand sales is a LOT of work, this place has taken it to a new extreme, creating a churn and burn environment that makes fantastic sales people not only want to leave BE but leave sales altogether. Also for some odd reason, BrightEdge thinks they are the only company that promotes SDRs to AEs within a year. They also think they are the only sales organization that pays decent money. The amount of brain washing they do to their employees and the candidates that come interview is a clear indication of them desperately trying to fix the high turnover rate. But to them, a high turnover is “just the nature of sales”.... I can’t tell if they are oblivious to how unhappy most people are or if they just truly don’t care
