Borderfree Reviews

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.

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.

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 appreciate the talented employees that made Borderfree a success and as a result people are leaving at a rate never seen before here. It's really sad to see a great company going down this rabbit hole. Borderfree was doing well before this takeover. Now we are evaluated based on the poor performance as a whole and our annual raises took a big hit.

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

Pros

good cross-functional communication, can always get answer and solve problems quickly

Cons

undergoing a lot of change from year 2013- current but team is actually very good in every transition,e specially IT
