Pros

When I consider joining a new company, I have a few boxes I need to check first: -Technology: the best in the market against competitors? -Culture: work hard/play hard, can I hang around these people 8 hours a day? -Company Growth: what VCs invested, how much and what round? -Career Growth: if I crush it, can I move up the ranks? -Management: can I learn from the person who's managing me? BrightEdge checked all those boxes for me. I've been here for over a year now and those boxes are still checked, plus a few more. BrightEdge is about the 'athlete mentality'; if you work fast and smart you'll get noticed. On the same token, that athlete mentality comes along with the comradery. Everyone, even c-level, are here to help you if you ask for it. BrightEdge is in a great place right now. We're a late stage startup with over 9000 clients and growing everyday. We're solving a need in the market and it feels good to contribute to that.

Cons

I don't really have any cons, the only thing I would say is that BrightEdge is not for you if you don't like to work fast and smart.

Pros

-Coworkers are exceptionally hardworking and smart. -Free kitchen snacks.

Cons

-Attrition is abnormally high. They are losing employees as quickly as they hire new ones. -No work-life balance. As employees leave, their workload is distributed among other already fully loaded team members who are expected to carry it without complaint. -Constant efforts to 'increase efficiency' equate to unrealistic and escalating workload expectations. -Culture of fear. Very authoritarian. New ideas are not appreciated or listened to. -Infighting among the top executives trickles down and creates a contentious environment. -All management cares about is driving to an IPO but the rate of company growth is slowing.

I am very disheartened and concerned to hear how unhappy this person is at BrightEdge. I can’t speak to this person’s current role, as the post was anonymous, but I can comment on the statements made about the company over all. First, we are not losing employees as quickly as we hire new ones. We are actually in hyper growth mode, as many of the open positions are because we have promoted groups of employees to larger roles or leadership roles. Second – we do have great work life balance. We provide 15 days of PTO and many employees only work 8-9 hour days and rarely ever work weekends. Not many pre-IPO start ups in Silicon Valley can say that. Third – everyone knows what is expected of them and there is a great atmosphere of collaboration and teamwork get things done. Forth- I know for a fact that ideas are welcome and listened to as reflected in our core values and that the top executives actually do get along as I have sat in on many meetings with them. Finally – 2014 was the best year ever for BrightEdge and we are continuing to grow revenue – not slowing - and 2015 is going to be a great year for BrightEdge!

Pros

Great product albeit overpriced for what it is visavis the competition. Leadership in London are generally good people

Cons

Wow. Where to start here. For such a small office / team, employee attrition is about 1 per month. When you look under the hood its no wonder why people leave. Business development team is flogged and expected to make 100+ calls per day, more often than not to generate useless leads. Too much of a jack the lad atmosphere in the office (if you pay peanuts you get monkies).
