Pros

-Flexible work from home -Unlimited PTO

Cons

I was at Brandwatch for a long time and it was a place that I used to rave about. It was an amazing company filled with innovation and amazing work culture. You had the opportunity to grow and expand your career. Brandwatch truly cared for its employees and their happiness. The last year or two really changed for the worst when we got sold to Cision and a new CEO came in. The CEO, hired and brought in his friends including some who have made terrible business choices that have effected everyone's day to day and job security. This new c-suite also brought in their friends who have also not performed amazingly. In those years we had 3 massive layoffs (one of which the CEO fake cried when announcing it), they got rid of a lot of high-level leadership, managers, and tenure employees. Followed by smaller scale layoffs per team, major one being the sales team. If you weren't in the good graces of some leadership you were canned. Changes to the sales org happened what seemed like every other week. No clear vision in what we were selling nor clear go to market strategy. We haven't received a yearly pay bump since the new CEO, Cali, started. If you got a raise from a promotion it was peanuts. Since the end of 2023 and really picking up in 2024 TOP TALENT have been dropping like flies leaving the organization for much better opportunities. Brandwatch will work you dry with little to no appreciation. Good luck don't work here.
