Pros
Brandwatch is an open and collaborative environment that supports and encourages people to work across departments and offices in the day-to-day, but also to explore new career opportunities and for growth in their professional development. During my time, I've seen many people transition into leadership roles, move to different offices around the world, and excel in a new role in a different department.
Cons
With growth, there can be the typical challenges like enough conference rooms or meeting spaces.

Pros
Reputable company to work for
Free snacks and drinks
Interesting work
Friendly vibe from most employeesCons
Company 'values' are heavily preached, but actions from all execs blatantly shows no commitment to these values, which leaves a feeling of betrayal with its employees as there is a taboo in regards to not buying into said values.
I imagine this is the result of Brandwatch getting to the size where it cannot maintain things which were possible as a startup/small business, especially now with the merger being announced. Business is business but the way in which difficult decisions are approached now is disappointing.Brandwatch 2018-11-23 16:04 PST![Brandwatch Logo]()

Pros
Great environment for self starters. If you want to grow and are a go getter, you will have plenty of opportunities.
Very smart people with little ego, who genuinely want to work to do what's best, constantly grow and innovate.
The company definitely hit some growing pains in 2017 but with a few good hires and tough decisions, recovered from the temporary issues.Cons
The company moves at a very fast pace, so there are always things changing - not necessarily a con for me, but might be for some.
Some offices can feel clique-y.Brandwatch 2018-06-08 07:17 PDT![Brandwatch Logo]()

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Brandwatch full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Great communication, industry-leading product, inspiring executive team and a culture of responsibility expected of their employees.
Cons
Tough space to routinely hit quota. Social media space is rapidly changing and it will be interesting to see how it plays out with their partners. The typical buyer is very immature when it comes to buying enterprise software so sales cycles can be long with lots of starts and stops. As a seller its hard to forecast opportunities and get prospects to commit to close plans.
Advice to Management
None. A great executive team has been assembled and I fully trust they take us to where we want to go. Straight to the top!

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Brandwatch full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
There are some great people at Brandwatch who help make working there manageable. Also work/life balance is great.
Cons
The culture isn't what it used to be and the business isn't that healthy. Not much opportunity to grow and unacceptably low salaries. A lot of unhappy employees and turnover has been a growing problem throughout the year.
Advice to Management
Make the business healthy again? Then pay better and help employees grow internally. Also, treat your employees with real 1-on-1 respect, not just stated values announced at quarterly meets.
