Pros

Remote work. Above Market salary

Cons

This place is a start up but they have no vision from top down on what they are trying to achieve. The mentality is get things done by any means necessary like cutting corners, lying about numbers, performance, etc. My boss at one point told me to lie to vendors because leadership promised certain delivery dates but didn’t have all the requisite pieces in place to make that an actuality. I was consistently reached out to outside of working hours people sending messages at 11PM at night expecting responses. My advice is look elsewhere, they are enticing with the salaries but the business practices are unprofessional and unethical.

It is unfortunate that you had a negative experience at Brightspeed. We hope that you provided your perspective to management and human resources before departing the company.

Pros

The few Managers that care about their employees

Cons

Morale at all time low, along with a very anxious culture. "Leadership" with no leadership skills, no processes in place, firedrills. Lack of listening to employees that have ways to win. Too many 'yes' folks and not enough, 'is this right for employees and the business' folks. People in higher up positions that shouldn't be. Complete and total lack of accountability on upper managements part. Everything is shoveled down to others with demands to work weekends and be on call 24/7/365. Unrealistic goals constantly set that make no logical sense - the data even shows this. No raises, no bonuses (except for management, maybe) due to poor 'leadership' over past years. New 'leadership' is operation based, so anyone doing any actual work is now drowning in reports that get looked at once then they change their mind about what they want. Utterly ridiculous and shameful.
