Pros

The company is set up like a startup--everyone is expected to wear multiple hats and be nimble and intelligent enough to switch gears quickly. I can understand why this might not be for everyone, as many people need a structured environment to be successful. As an entrepreneur myself, I understand that building a business is not a popularity contest--it's about doing whatever is necessary to move the company forward. In this environment, everyone can't be coddled and made to feel "ok" with every move the company makes. The company is moving fast now, taking on large clients and getting a lot of buzz in tech circles. This is an exciting time to be at Brighterion. If you're intelligent, hard-working and willing to deal with the realities of building a successful business in silicon valley, then Brighterion is the place for you. Other pros include catered lunch 3 days a week and gym membership.

Cons

Limited vacation time compared to other companies (but, to be fair, we are quite lean and need all hands on deck most of the time). Starting cash salaries can sometimes be low compared to industry, but raises are frequent.

Pros

The startup feel and environment gives you a sense of contribution that you often don't get at larger companies. Your work feels meaningful and good work is recognized and rewarded. As the company has grown year over year more benefits have been added as well such as twice weekly free lunch, company holiday parties, gym membership.

Cons

As a company that works with larger partners people tend to wear many hats. This could often lead to longer work hours during periods of deadlines, but is not unexpected for startup companies that are thriving.
