Can't Bite My Tongue Any Longer - werkgeversreview Regional Sales Manager bij Bronto Software

Great diversity, wonderful people to work with. My director was great and so was most of the management team.

Bronto was purchased by NetSuite which in turn was purchased with Oracle. Its still a good place to get experience but the culture is different now and so are the perks. It used to feel more like a startup environment now it's a corporate environment.

American Tobacco Campus location, free snacks, sodas and beer, foosball, there is a sabatical after 5 years, but you won't make it that long

The two founders are still there and still run the company like it is their personal club. They don't have the experience or the sense to run a real business, so they focus on things like silly company games, office expansion and marketing events. They lump all this under "culture." Meanwhile they pay below market wages, skimp on bonuses, have bare minimum benefits and generally try and extort as much as possible from their employees. They hire generally incompetent managers who can't lead, but instead just rah-rah everything the founders do or say. Even though they claim they are a start up, you will find more money in the cushions of your couch than you'll get from the equity that they hand out. The greatest farce is the travel policy of sharing hotel rooms and the red eye requirement, so the best thing to do is just avoid travel at all costs. They cover up the awful environment by forcing employees to say nice things about the company: forced voting in the Best Places to Work survey and I'm sure several of the reviews on this site. They also hire young, inexperienced people who don't know any better, they get a few years from the good ones before they figure it out and leave. The bad ones stay, especially if they rah-rah the founders silly actions.
