Brightedge Technologies reviews

Management especially sales and even CEO are very arrogant and ignorant. Arrogant thinking they have the best technology in the marketplace when it is way over priced and ignorant thinking that they can continue to treat their sales employees like dirt. Chrun and burn is the philosophy with both customers and employees.

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.
