Potential is there, but execution is not

Pros

Great place to learn and get experience if you're starting off in your career.

Cons

CEO - Lack of people skills. He lacks the ability to inspire the workforce. People feel unappreciated and neglected especially if you're not part of the sales organization. Benefits/perks: offerings are below industry standards. no 401k match. HR: they are a hot mess. not sure what is going on there, but seems like they don't have the ability to execute on things.

There are tons of people who last longer than a year at BrightEdge and move into AE positions, Sales Management positions and some people even get to open new offices! Hard work and a true desire to grind and be in sales pays off!

A real review and advice

Pros

If you have trouble navigating the reviews on this site, I can tell you that most, if not all, of the positive reviews are fake (I strongly suspect our marketing/product leader is writing them). It's possible one or two of the negative reviews were written by competitors, but the overall negative sentiment of employees is accurate. There are a lot of changes happening internally, but the bottom line is that everything filters down from the top, from the CEO. He's a smart guy, but he's young and only cares about money. And since he isn't going to change, any attempts to improve the culture are severely limited. This is evident by the fact that the same issues have been coming up in negative reviews for over 2 years. Pros: - if you're recently out of school, you can learn a lot at BrightEdge. My advice is stay for 1 year (no more), and make connections that will get you your next job - people from BrightEdge often go on to big name companies. - BrightEdge is reaching new milestones in terms of company growth, and the market is changing rapidly, so it's an exciting time to see how the company is navigating changes.

Cons

- the CEO will only have things a certain way (his way), and the exec team caters to him, so you may get frustrated and run into road blocks if you have your own ideas. They'll tell you to take "ownership" of your role, but they won't give you the authority or support to execute. - we are seeing increased competition, and seem to be scrambling to maintain our leadership in the market (for example the "data cube" that came out of no where, and our sudden interest in marketing towards "everyone" instead of just enterprise. This was not planned, it is reactive). - BrightEdge is the king of over-promising and under-delivering. This hasn't changed and isn't going to. Everyone here is a salesperson and a smooth talker and they will sell their pants off to get you in the door, but my advice for both experienced and inexperienced people is this: unless you have no other options, it's not worth it. If you do join, my advice is to be aggressive about what you need to succeed. If you want or need something, be proactive and ask every day or every week until you get it. Get everything in writing.
