Pros

- A lot of freedom, which can allow you to operate autonomously or pick up new projects, or to do nothing without any repercussions. - A few great people, generally not in management, who truly carry the company. - Unlimited holidays. - Free lunch & beers. - Great office location. - A great product and dedicated product team.

Cons

- Very stagnant career growth outlook; you might be able to make a step to the side, but there is no such thing as climbing the ladder. - Salaries are a joke, not in line with the market. - Bynder does not evaluate its employees based on performance, at least not to the extent to which it can actually cause you to get a raise that is more than the 1% that everybody gets. - High performer, or low performer, it does not matter. - Nepotism is unfortunately a big thing, if you are friends with the right people, they keep you sheltered, give you raises and will invent positions to keep you on board. Management is inexperienced and has failed to bring much needed experience (stability) into the company through external hires. This has led to: - Global unclarity on mission, vision, strategy and means of execution. - Putting people in more managerial positions, despite not being the best fit. - Most importantly, every change, every initiative is NOT taken seriously by the employees who have been with the company for longer than a year. There is no credibility, nor accountability from management side.

Thank you for your response. We appreciate the time you took to give us feedback, and we want to let you know that we are taking this into serious consideration. As we grow, we are having to rethink and realign the existing structure within Bynder, especially after the acquisition of one of our largest competitors. We agree that, as we expand, the systems that worked for a company of 100 people, no longer work for a scale-up that is now over 300+. Restructuring and evaluating our current processes will not happen overnight, so I hope you will grant us a grace period while we reevaluate. As you mentioned in earlier in your message, we still want to grant people freedom while providing our workforce with a vision and plan for the future. This is an ongoing process that we are taking steps towards. Again, thank you for your feedback, and if you would like to speak with us further about your experience, please feel free to reach out to us at peopletalent@bynder.com

Pros

If youre in any org other than CS you wont be held accountable -so great place to work for work life balance here.

Cons

I’ve never worked somewhere so committed to talking about how big they are while simultaneously demonstrating so little operational maturity. Leadership loves to reference headcount, competitors, market position, and “assets.” What’s missing? Actual business acumen. There’s no coherent strategy around pricing, contract creativity, expansion planning, or long-term customer value. Decisions feel reactive and mood-based — dependent on which C-suite executive woke up inspired that day. There is no consistent process. Notes aren’t read. Context is ignored. CSMs are forced to re-explain the same account history over and over again in Slack threads because leadership refuses to align asynchronously. The result? Deals stall, customers get confused, and CS absorbs the fallout. Despite saying they trust their teams, the C-suite inserts themselves into every major deal — often changing direction mid-stream — while holding Sales to little accountability. When revenue misses or churn happens, guess where it lands? Customer Success. Always. What’s most frustrating is the refusal to listen. Feedback is given weekly. The same themes are raised repeatedly. Each time, leadership reacts as if it’s brand new information — only to change nothing. The turnover cycles are predictable at this point. High performers burn out. Lower performers coast. Other departments don’t seem to carry the same pressure or scrutiny. There are talented, hardworking people here. But talent alone cannot compensate for a lack of structure, clear strategy, and executive accountability. If you thrive in environments with strong leadership alignment, thoughtful planning, and clear ownership lines — this will be a difficult place to succeed.
