Thank you for your feedback and very unfortunate that you are no longer with Bazaarvoice. We take pride in establishing a culture of “Psychological Safety” at BV. We have multiple mechanisms for employees to share their experience and suggest changes (example of mechanisms include anonymous surveys, 1-on-1s, team feedback sessions, retrospective meetings, informal skip-levels, etc.). We continue to listen to all feedback and learn from those interactions, and more importantly make changes for the betterment of everyone at Bazaarvoice. We would have welcomed the chance to hear your concerns while you were still with us. Your inputs would have helped us learn and course correct, and in the process enable us to ensure that Bazaarvoice is an awesome place to work for everyone. An important goal for us is to ensure all employees have a healthy balance between work and home lives, and we constantly look for feedback and aspire towards that goal.

Pros

The work itself was genuinely enjoyable. I had the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of brands and retailers, including some I hadn’t previously considered, which made the role both interesting and educational. Building partnerships was rewarding, and the day-to-day responsibilities could be engaging and fun.

Cons

The workplace culture was extremely cliquish and, at times, unprofessional. Disagreements were often followed by gossip, and it felt like colleagues frequently spoke negatively about one another. Attempts to seek guidance or support sometimes turned into conversations filled with unnecessary drama rather than constructive advice. Some moments felt inappropriate, such as being told to “smile more” by a sales rep during a client-facing call. Overall, the environment felt more like a high school dynamic than a professional setting. Management did not provide the level of support or leadership needed to foster a healthy team culture.
