Bazaarvoice Reviews

Pros

Amazing benefits, flexibility with work-from-home or work in-office, very cooperative team, enjoyed managers and supervisors.

Cons

Sudden lay-off due to tech downturn with small severance.

Pros

The company is actually a lot of fun. The people are very friendly and nice. Universally, the culture is great!

Cons

This company has so much potential. It's so sad. The mid-market division was poorly operated from the top down. If you are offered a mid-market AE position, say NO! Quotas were way way too high, no one was getting there except maybe 1 or 2 out of 12 AE's. I never had a manager on any sales calls my first 12 months on the job. Managers were able to see the writing on the wall, and they were resigning left and right. Managers who had been there YEARS. II had 3 managers in less than 12 months! It's concerning when NO MID MARKET AE's ever made president's club.

Pros

Some of the people at / who were with the company I will remain friends with or connected. I got some good connections out of my time and mentorship.

Cons

Terrible handling of global business ventures and team structuring and integration - especially in protected classes. I’ve never faced so much shame and discrimination and escalations without real cause for setting normal and proper boundaries to avoid working 7 days a week. The company can’t decide what the actual growth trajectory is and what fields / clients are profitable. Bad reputation amongst top spend clients. No investment on enhancing technology. Inability to PR spin every major failure and relies on name dropping partnerships for credibility when it is not actually backed by facts (ironic for a company that is based on tech/analytics and results). Unless you are a typical tech bro, you will be constantly battling internal parties who should be your considered your team and you will leave feeling shamed and isolated for calling out misbehavior even by the HR director. Leaders lack general business knowledge and ethics for their baseless pricing markups that cheat their clients.

better compensation of pay, of course

Challenges this year being in the tech industry, but this isn't unique to BV

Pros

Great teams, leadership, work life balance

Cons

Internal and client tools aren’t the best

Pros

Remote and independent work, which is nice.

Cons

Mandatory weekend hours, no pay raise in 6 years, zero opportunities to get a promotion.

Pros

The people are amazing! - and this is super important to me since you spend a lot of time with your coworkers. I have had some great growth opportunities and feel very professionally fulfilled. I genuinely feel great about the leadership - they listen and take actions to fix things rather than just glossing over things. I have been here for over three years and have no plans on leaving any time soon.

Cons

Communication can sometimes be tough cross-functionally. - but that has been my experience at every SaaS company so this isn't anything new.

Pros

Cons

Unrealistic quotas Pointless KPI’s Toxic culture

Pros

Cons

Bazaarvoice has suffered from lack of focus at times
