RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Borderfree full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
The company was acquired by Pitney Bowes. I left before that takeover. So, I am only commenting on before the acquisition. It was a great place to work
Cons
The building has a lot of construction. It is NY. So, what can you do. But, the construction bothered me.
Advice to Management
I hope the new management cares about the employees like the old management did.

Pros
Lots of technology in use, Intelligent talented people, great team spirit, fun place to be.
Cons
Hard work! Long hours, if u don't like working hard as a team toward a common goal then look elsewhere.
Advice to Management
Keep it up. Things had got pretty bad before PB acquisition. One office barely spoke to the other, the two main sites were like different companies. Lots of uncooperative people and resistance to change. Things have improved dramatically over last 18 months and a lot of the old guard with the negative reviews on this site have left, people now talk to each other and the whole place seems more aligned with common...

Negative OutlookI have been working at Borderfree full-time
Pros
Borderfree in it's former glory days was a great company to work for under the leadership of the CEO at the time. Now it is a different story...
Cons
Gone are the days that made Borderfree the place and enjoyable culture it once was. There used to be drinks and Karaoke nights after every town hall meeting, and monthly birthday treat of the month, and other small but fun events. These are all gone now under PB management. Even our christmas holiday party was pushed to the new year..it's like it was an after thought for the Borderfree side of the business. They don't...

PB management needs to take a hard look at what they've done to the business. if they really want the business to succeed, they need to harness the talent reward them and really build the morality back up.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookI worked at Borderfree
Pros
There were so many pros during the Borderfree era but since PB has taken over they have all faded. There are really no pros to this company anymore than you collecting a paycheck and working short PB hours. No one is motivated to do much so kick the email chain around and everyone can clap once an announcement comes out.
Cons
- Attrition rate is over 50% and will continue to grow, PB has decided to destroy the Borderfree. culture that they paid a premium to buy - Best and brightest are leaving in waves leaving just the fat - Employee moral is at an all time low in the past 3 year - Merit increase are around 2 % for a above average performance review
Advice to Management
Stop saying that you're a technology company you're not no matter how much money you put on NFL advertisements. Change comes from within invest in your employees, be honest goals and help align focus to rekindle the innovative force that was once Borderfree. Did you really pay 400M a rolodex of merchants or were you actually interested in the minds of Borderfree? Ask yourself this, while you do the talent pool going to...

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Borderfree full-time for less than a year
Pros
Office, snacks - though that might go away soon, PTO, knowledgeable people in some areas.
Cons
No life/work balance. Some areas in the company are very badly organized - though situation is somewhat improving. After Pitney Bowes acquired Borderfree a lot of people are leaving. Pitney Bowes HR rep mislead me on my PTO pay during my exit interview and as result I lost significant amount of money - I wasn't allowed to take any time off before the exit.
