Pros

Pioneer in the field of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. Brighterion is a very fast paced company with a high performance culture. It demands much of its employees, yet delivers exceptional challenges and rewards people for their contributions to the business. Smart co-workers, Exciting / challenging work at scale, Empowering culture Ample of opportunities to learn Extremely helpful, friendly team. Very strong and Impressive CEO. I'm impressed with the level trust, support and autonomy management provides employees to run with an idea and own a project.

Cons

Company can do a better job marketing itself differently based on industry and verticals.

Pros

Any positive commentary is overcast by the poor treatment of the employees and complete disregard for professionalism and legal, office protocols

Cons

This company might have a good product but it is consistently overshadowed by the pompous, hypocritical, demeaning, berating, abhorant and unethical behavior of the CEO. The way the employees of Brighterion are treated is nothing but deplorable. Racist, sexist and sexually inappropriate comments and references are heard regularly. There is not an HR department to ensure protection when it comes to anything regarding treatment, pay or vacation, not to mention the questionable legality of certain actions. His egoistical nature is destructive to not only the company, but the morale as people are often times screamed at or ridiculed about, when their back is turned, to their colleagues creating discord and distrust among teams. The professionalism is an all-time low as lying to clients and treating employees without respect is an everyday occurrence. Aside from that, any sort of growth there is stagnant since the structure is forever changing and upper management skills are lacking. The time, effort, financial investment and training it takes to create quality work in each department is not a priority yet you will be berated, name called and punished if things go awry even though there are zero resources at hand. The turnover speaks for itself as does the lack of growth the company has had considering how long it has been around. This company is not a good investment no matter what angle you are looking at it from, whether it is to use their product, be an employee, or potentially financially invest in them, due to the liability of the CEO's behavior alone. Turn around and do not look back.

Gloomy - Below standard CEO

Pros

Good technology in a hot market (AI, machine learning, etc.) Most of the staff is young and just out of university Good location

Cons

Founder/CEO is a techie in his late 50s/early 60s with no mabagement skills whatsoever and even less business acumen. Other companies operating in the same space were set-up, grew and successfully sold in less than half the time he has been in business. Condescending with anyone who is not a PhD (ie all but one). Exploitative - will get you in at well below market rates on the promise that the few share options you'll receive will largely compensate once the cie is sold (guess what! It's unlikely to happen if he remains in the driving seat) Be especially wary of his never ending speeches about "honesty"; a word he rarely applies to himself Most of the outstanding reviews on Glassdoor are either written by him or one of his minnows, so come in with eyes wide open.
