Pros

unlimited leave and good teammate

Cons

At Braze, BDRs endure a uniquely demanding environment with an overwhelming workload. Contrary to industry norms, BDRs not only identify opportunities but also conduct presentations – a task traditionally reserved for AEs. Coupled with excessive admin duties and relentless micro-management, this unique work dynamic is a cautionary tale. The promise of a high package is overshadowed by a meager base pay, and commission targets are elusive. Experienced professionals, beware – Braze may not align with your expectations. Furthermore, the lack of trust is palpable, as managers scrutinize daily calendars and closely monitor prospect emails. This distrust has resulted in the loss of valuable talent, making Braze a less-than-ideal environment for those seeking autonomy and transparency in their roles.

Extremely diverse tech stack that can be difficult to master. CSM roles involve significant strategic guidance beyond normal role expectations. Workload can vary significantly based on which clients you receive.

Pros

Braze has many smart, kind, and talented people, and I had the chance to work with colleagues who genuinely cared about doing good work. The company also gave me opportunities to grow and lead programs at scale. The product is respected, the customer base is impressive, and there are still teams doing excellent work despite the broader challenges.

Cons

The company became increasingly frenetic, with shifting priorities, unrealistic goals, and too much work happening without clear ownership or coordinated strategy. Decisions often felt reactive, and teams responsible for execution were not consistently included early enough in planning. There was also a growing emphasis on visibility, internal process, and last-minute requests, which made it harder to focus on thoughtful work or build sustainable programs. The experience can vary significantly by team and manager. Strong performers may find themselves rewarded with more volume rather than more influence, while organizational changes and unclear direction can make it difficult to understand how decisions are being made.
