Pros

+There are several bright, honest, and hardworking people at Brighterion that were a genuine pleasure to work with. They know their craft and I'm sorry I won't get to work with them further. +Coworkers in the broader Mastercard group were typically also good to work with, many of them have the capacity to deliver high quality products.

Cons

-Shipping to customers is a slog, and customers receive buggy software due to management pressure - e.g. a new major release locked global administrators out of features in 9.0, in-browser help files are not updated to explain changed methodology in any version I saw, among many others. -High turnover among experienced employees -CEO conveys achievements to customers which ten-year employees say haven't ever happened -New high level executives fail to transmit deadline expectations

Pros

I had the privilege of working with incredibly smart people and I will be forever grateful to the founder for giving me my first job out of college during the financial crisis. Working at Brighterion allowed me to become a succesful software engineer.

Cons

None. I will let that to the people who spend their limited energy with cynisme and criticism.

Pros

I can honestly say that life at Brighterion just keeps getting better. While the work is challenging, I am grateful that I work in an environment that makes me want to push myself. Given the nature of our business, our clients expect and deserve only the best. Those who can't work at the highest level usually don't last but fortunately Brighterion hires well so you are surrounded by co-workers who challenge each other. While our work is largely under the radar (NDAs prevent us from publicly discussing clients), we work with hundreds of institutions worldwide ranging from homeland security projects to financial fraud for the world's largest banks, e-commerce, and credit card companies. This exposure allows me to apply my skillset across multiple channels. I don't think I could have gotten the experience I am getting at Brighterion had I chosen to join any of the other, much larger, Bay Area tech companies - and they provide all the same bennies - lunches, awesome healthcare, 401K and health club membership at the Embarcadero YMCA just across the street. Brighterion is at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and machine learning and I am proud to be right there at the front lines with such an innovative and cutting edge company.

Cons

Be prepared to bring your "A" game. In all honesty, I can't think of any right now but I'll circle back later with an update if I can think of any.
