Things I wish I would have known before working at BrightEdge.
Pros
Great Product. The Engineering team has put so much work into it. Compensation for lower-level roles are hourly, not salary, so you are getting overtime/double time.
Cons
This is the most miserable place to work. If you ever want any free time/social life or an employer that cares about you as a person, do not work here. The turnover rate is so high that the company hasn't grown to more than 40 employees in over a year (you're a "veteran" if you've stuck it out for more than 3 months), therefore making your work load outrageous to cover the needs, effectively wearing you to the bone. Expect to work in a no-excuses environment where everything has to be done "TODAY," as that is their core value, making the assumption that you are NON-HUMAN. Management doesn't care about their rockstar employees, hard work is swept under the rug- It's just "assumed" that you work more than 60 hours a week. They hire people with no work experience so that you dont realize how horrible the environment is until you leave.
