Pros

The SMB retail market is there for the taking, nobody has truly capitalized on it. However, it won't be Brightpearl, not with this leadership. The US team *was* full of great people. Not sure how many people even work in the US anymore.

Cons

Leadership, product, bugs, communication, resources, everything. Nobody knows what's going on anywhere. There is no communication between departments, and everybody seems to just do what they want. The product team has no regard for the sales, support, or success teams. No matter how much customers ask for things, you can just about guarantee nothing will happen. The focus seems to be on new bright feature and functions (which are always delayed or never released), leaving bugs and other frustrating issues waiting to be addressed. Accounting is supposed to be the differentiator with Brightpearl. But it's not made for US accounting, so don't expect to fully replace QuickBooks. The leadership clearly does not care about their employees. They will look you in the eye and tell you one thing, turn around and do something completely different. Not trustworthy at all. Can't say you weren't warned.

I was genuinely surprised and disappointed to read this review. The statements made are simply untrue. On this occasion I would encourage anyone considering joining our company to ask pertinent questions as I am confident we can provide the facts which substantiate the complete opposite to this depressing picture.

Pros

Good benefits and salary. Flexibility in working hours and location

Cons

Major restructuring and position eliminations. Apparent shift in strategies to help Global sales but perhaps impacting North America behaviors.
