      Pros

      1. Free Breakfast 2. Free Lunch 3. A Few Great Teammates

      Cons

      Year by year, the company has been removing policies that favored employees. Benefits like WFH, flexibility, team trip, lower pressure, and autonomy now seem to be viewed negatively. This year things have worsened significantly. [If things are too good for employees, they suddenly become a problem in the company’s eyes] Now, employees are expected to do everything—backend, frontend, QA, DevOps—regardless of their experience or interest. Expecting an 8-year experienced QA lead to suddenly become a backend engineer (against their choice) is unrealistic. Deadlines are cut drastically, there’s barely time to review code, and collaboration has actually decreased, Instead of offering more flexibility in working hours—especially when in-person collaboration has already reduced due to heavy reliance on Claude Code (people now ask, build, and test through it rather than with each other)—Despite this, the company is pushing for a full 5-day office return while also hinting at downsizing/layoffs

      Hello, Thank you for your loyalty over the years and for sharing this so honestly. We hear the frustration around evolving role expectations, workload and the pace of change. These are topics we take into account and we know that transitions don't always feel supported enough from the inside. We do believe that being together in the office strengthens the collaboration and the connections that make us stronger as a team, and this is something we continue to encourage. That said, we are committed to communicating any changes in our ways of working with Brevo teams. Long-tenured employees like yourself are a real asset and we want Brevo to be a place where experience and growth path are valued. Thank you for your feedback, it's really helpful.

      Pros

      Great work environment and company culture. They really do care about their employee's well being. Listen to suggestions and are proactive on implementing change.

      Cons

      As with any start up environment, it can be a bit disorganized at times. There is always change.

We're happy to know that you like the work environment and the company culture; as you said, we're really attentive to the well being of our employees and we regularly ask their feedback and suggestions via different tools like global surveys.

      Great company culture. Genuinely awesome people to work with.

      Cons

      With teams being located throughout Europe and the US it was difficult to get timely answers/solutions to share with the client.

      Hello, Thank you for the kind words about our culture and team You raise a valid point about cross-timezone collaboration. With teams spread across Europe and the US, making sure communication is quick and effective is an ongoing topic for us. It's something we continue to work on to ensure both our teams and our clients get the responsiveness they deserve. We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best.
