Brightedge Technologies reviews

1) Micromanagement culture - I'm an adult, and have been in sales for several years. I graduated from a top university. Never once have I had to have a manager write and rewrite and proofread my emails until I arrived here. Checking activity is one thing (yes, it's a quota job and an activity job), but if you want every email to look like a robot wrote it, well, get robots, not people. 2) Shifting "requirements" - we've now instituted "call blitzes" from 4-6pm a couple of times a month, which does not lend well to either morale or to actually getting business closed. It feels like detention. Again, I'm an adult, not a school-aged child. If people aren't getting the job done during work hours, address that with those individuals. There's also a change in amount of activity required, which seems to change every week, if not every day. Set a standard, and leave it alone already. 3) Work-life balance - during my interview, an 8:30-5 schedule was "pitched," which I appreciate. I have a life outside of the office, and work-life balance, as I mentioned in my interview to management and to the recruiter, is very important to me. I am SHUNNED if I arrive/leave at those prescribed hours. Yes, we are paid for any overtime we accrue, but I specifically mentioned in my interview that I do not care about overtime, I care about going home to my family. And I was told by multiple people that these were the hours. Just say 8am-6pm minimum to your candidates and pull off the band aid. You'll probably get the right candidates who don't mind staying late often on board, vs. a bunch of disgruntled folks who feel lied to. 4) Pushy sales tactics and culture - there are documented cases of prospects going with competitors due to harassment from all levels of sales management, including multiple calls and emails in a day. It is mandatory to "value touch" your prospects an obscene amount. I know if I was receiving that many calls and emails, especially after specifically stating I needed a few days to review internally, I'd be running for the hills too.

This is where the company stands out. Where to begin... 1) Culture: Highly micromanaged culture (Your calendars are being studied, your emails get tracked, and they record all of your conversations), it is a do as I say not as I do culture. 2) Unethical Selling 3) They started slowly cutting out snacks and drinks in the kitchen. 4) Mandatory call blitz till 6pm weekly. By the way this was created by someone who has never made a cold call in their life. 5) Weekly training: This is a joke, it's more like here is how we are going to micromanage you even more. 6) Training is created by someone who has never sold... Weird huh? 7) Not much career growth opportunities here 8) Low Morale: Seems like everyone is interviewing else where and is not happy to be here 9) Feels like a sweat shop 10) No transparency from the top down, seems as if they are always secretly plotting behind our backs 11) High turnover. High turnover for a reason. Very high turnover for a company. 12) ZERO work life balance. Overtime is required. The minions come into work at 6:30am and usually leave after 5pm. Management and above roles in at 9am and leaves around 5pm yet they enforce the hours. Much much more but you get the idea... Also FYI: Some of these good reviews are fake as instructed by the recruitment team to write fake ones. The really good review looks fake based on the language that was used but thats just my opinion.
