Brightedge Technologies reviews

I'm beginning to see a lot of positive posts again on the BrightEdge review board which only leads me to believe that management is forcing their staff to post positive reviews. I'm pretty confident of this since the posts are coming from anonymous Account Executives. Anyone who has worked there knows that the Sales department is a revolving door and the staff are treated poorly. Did something suddenly change? Moreover, when I worked there, I'm guilty of posting a fake, positive review and have also witnessed this happen on more than one occasion during my tenure. While you have one department posting fake reviews on Glassdoor, you have others in a separate department being forced to end connections with former employees on LinkedIn. The problem starts at the top but it doesn't end there. You have a couple of leaders that are very smooth talkers (if you can't read between the lines, they are disingenuous) that keep the recruiting going. Once you get in, you quickly realize you made a mistake and now you are part of the unhealthy negative culture that will swallow you whole very quickly. There is another in a leadership position that is a person of faith. You quickly realize that their actions and words are not very christian. There is another leader in another department that should have never been allowed to manage people. The only true VP at this company manages the Marketing group. If you are considering a job with BrightEdge, read these negative reviews before you make a decision. Not to speak in hyperbole but every one of these negative reviews are probably written because each person finally felt like this was the only time they would be heard. They finally have the freedom to speak their mind. I've never done this before. I usually never take the time on something this trivial like posting a negative review.

Do yourself a favor by filtering BrightEdge’s Glassdoor reviews to reveal only those with ratings of 3 stars or less. These are not “unruly” SDRs that they will reference during your interview process. These reviews include content that is very real from up, down and across the organization. But, to summarize some of the information you may find… -Rampant Micromanagement at ALL levels -Unobtainable quotas and SPIFFs that will affect your compensation (and morale) -Compensation plans that do not align to the realities of the business -No 401k Match, Tuition Reimbursement -HIGH turnover (60%+ annually!) -Low average tenure (See LinkedIn Insights) -Poor investments in people and training -Unrealistic expectations, low work-life balance -Saturated market (Botify, Conductor, SEM Rush, SEO Clarity, Search Metrics, etc.) -Lack of career growth, but miniscule raises if you do achieve a promotion
