Brighterion reviews

The company has one main customer, who in which, is also an investor and Board Member. That customer resells the same technology to their customers, who happen to be the primary target market for Brighterion. Therefore, they compete against each other, selling the same technology solution. Brighterion, then uses all those customer logos that their primary customer/investor has sold and done business with, and puts those logos in their sales presentations and marketing material and tells new prospects that they are Brighterion customers....in Fact, they are not Brighterion customers at all. Brighterion has no relationship whatsoever with any of them. It's just plain lying. This is an 18 year old company that wants to be a start-up in the new era of A/I, but has very old technology and no professionally experienced people that have ever worked at another tech firm. Nearly all are just out of college and everybody reports to the CEO. There are no managers or Sr. Leaders, just look at the Bio page on their web site....in fact, one guy is a fake profile and doesn't even exist in the company at all. Then, look at their LinkedIn page...not a single Sr. Leader or Executive is listed because they don't exist. As the other profiles indicate, the CEO controls everything. He even orders the soda and juice in the kitchen....he can't even let that task go.

Management has miserably failed in most of their endeavors and are using "alternative facts" and being very economical with the truth. Some non exhaustive examples below: - claiming 100s of customers when they barely have 4 or 5 direct customers including one marquee customer on which more than 80% of the business is relying upon. If this marquee customer decides to change vendor, they're as good as dead; - claiming low staff turnover when even by Bay area's standards the turnover is awful. Staff never stopped changing when I was there. A rapid look at well-known professional social media sites will give you an accurate picture; - showing on the website fake members of the management team (strategy for instance) that nobody in the office ever saw, met or spoke to. The CEO's expertise is deception from start (recruitment) to end. I am not going to even comment on the lowest ever pay and worst benefits you could imagine, nor on the despicable behavior of the CEO often mentioned in other reviews (btw the majority of good reviews on glassdoor are written or dictated by him). CEO, already in his 60s, is still daydreaming about greatness (probably suffering from acute NPD) and thinks his Cie is worth billions when he has miserably failed to attract any of the big players from the Valley who are investing billions in A.I. and machine learning. If he is that good and his technology such advanced, a benchmark for him should be the $500+m paid by Alphabet for DeepMind (led by a real genius) early 2014. 3 years on, it should be easy peasy to beat that figure considering how hot the market is in that particular field. My bet is that, if he ever manages to get it sold, he will only achieve a valuation 20 to 30 times below this mark. Obviously, he will then claim a great victory. The ones who will end up crying are my former co-workers who would have sacrificed good wages and stocks elsewhere for a few stock-options that will be barely worth the paper they are written on. Their value will certainly not be life-changing.for them.
