Brandwatch Reviews

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

Interesting work and customers, but tough data.

Cons

Exec team generally speaking were figure heads and not helpful in creating a culture of learning and collaboration.

Pros

Some smart people left on staff

Cons

Very cliquey, and by cliquey, I mean if you are a straight white male you are in the clique and you will likely succeed. Bonus points if you are British. Senior management demographics reflect this dynamic and women, queer people, and BIPOC are poorly represented and purposefully held back from promotions and raises and even fired without good cause. All this happens while the company gives lip service to being very liberal and progressive. The lack of diversity in leadership positions has also led to a lack of diversity in opinions, and the poor state of the product and low morale of teams reflects this. Missed opportunities across the board.

Pros

Great technology suite, flexible WFH and time off policies, great team of people there.

Cons

Teams don't work the best together, often felt siloed. Change in internal strategy at what seems like the drop of a hat with little to no transparency on decision making. Tools given to us by our managers often don't help workflow (i.e. Salesforce). Brandwatch suite is about 12-18 months away from completion.

Pros

Flexibility, unlimited PTO, good non-senior people.

Cons

No leadership is better than the poor leadership team assembled here. Be friends with the right people and you get what you want.

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.

Pros

-Intelligent colleagues, great company culture -Flexible work environment -Kind/compassionate people who want to do the right thing -Normal tech company benefits (snacks, happy hours, drinks, etc.) -Opportunities for career progression

Cons

-Tough industry to be in -Company to be more quick/nimble/innovative in a space that is as fast moving as this
