Pros

Beamery has managed to land some of THE best talent in the industry...no lie - THE VERY BEST. It's just a shame that most of them have left or are in the process of leaving because of the co-founders and the Chief People Officer who make it unbearable to work here.

Cons

Abakar Saidov, Sultan Saidov and Steve Bianchi (CEO, CTO & CPO). These are the three people that are killing their own organization. They don't trust a single person inside of the organization and treat even their top performers like misbehaving children. They lack empathy, haven't a clue about inclusion and look down on everyone around them. They make decisions in a vacuum based on their egos and are completely disconnected from the people that do the actual work in the company. If you fail at even the smallest thing, expect to be publicly shamed and verbally attacked by these three people. If you succeed at something, it might be even worse as they get incredibly jealous when success happens without their micromanagement. Once they see you've built something that works, they will take it over, break it and build something of their own that misses the mark, just so they can have the credit for themselves, even if it means tanking their own business in the process. The values they spout are a joke. The people who do the real work may have these values, but the co-founders and CPO couldn't be further from them. At Beamery, you're supposed act with kindness, which apparently for the co-founders equals interrupting you, telling you that you don't know what you're talking about, yelling at you, blaming you for things beyond your control, refusing to take accountability for their own actions (or lack thereof) and trying to micromanage every aspect of the organization, despite being given plenty of feedback to help them correct this behavior. They just don't want to hear it. The culture here is completely broken and it is the fault of leadership at the very top. If you're considering joining Beamery, I would think twice. They do not value talent here at all - they are threatened by it and work to actively sabotage it. If you do join, expect to be a cog and nothing more. They are incapable of seeing or treating people as human beings.

Beamery Response

It’s important to me that I personally respond to this review. Whilst I’m the first one to admit that we don’t always get everything right, much of what you have said here is inaccurate and misleading. To say we don’t trust ‘a single person inside’ Beamery is untrue. We hire smart people, and want them to “Own the change they seek” - one of our core values. We would also never shame or verbally attack anyone. If you genuinely felt this way, I apologise, and ask that you come and talk to me, or someone in my team, so we can investigate. Promoting and protecting the company values and culture are very important to me and the leadership team. We’ve made, and continue to make, significant investments in our people’s wellbeing and culture. In fact, the people at Beamery are what makes this culture so amazing and I couldn’t be more proud of how everyone has adapted to new ways of working since lockdown first started. We know it hasn’t been easy and everyone has their own unique challenges and circumstances. Which is why we’ve also recently launched our new ‘Ben card’ that allows employees to choose how they invest in their own wellbeing, with a monthly allocated budget. We are also about to launch our first ever DEI manifesto, something I am very proud of, which will support us further in ensuring an inclusive and fair culture. I do hope you take me up on the offer to talk further. My door is always open. Abakar, Co-Founder and CEO
