Brandwatch Employee Reviews

if you're not in sales, don't bother working here. that's all this company is about, and that's where all the money goes

Looks like this Brandwatch profile is stuck in 2021... lots of things have changed. It used to be a great, great company to work for when Giles was CEO, then he sold it to Cision and now it's just another Saas company where you work yourself to death. The old school is still good, but there's less

HUGE turnover, with most employees leaving after less than two years, which is a bad look even for the tech industry. I regret working at Brandwatch. It was a mess of an organization and a niche market.

Toxic culture, no growth, inexperienced management

Employees have access and very good transparency

They need more experience in the industry

Strategic direction, supporting employees, improving process flows

Paid OK for a pandemic, but this is not typical, as most employees complain of being underpaid

Flexible working and working from home becoming increasingly accepted

401K Match and low cost of employee contribution to health plan.

being paid more than the *base pay* of a fresh salesperson. It's not a very high bar, but I know I bring more value to Brandwatch that a salesperson who sells nothing in a given month.

I've been interviewing and I know for a fact that Brandwatch is below market in terms of salaries, once I leave I'll prob get 20% raise (but I'm aiming for a 35% raise, which is achievable). And I'm speaking same job title.

Work life balance is really bad. You don't even have time for lunch. It started to get so bad that they implemented overtime pay because you work overtime pretty much every single day.

I have been denied promotions and pay raises.

I love my team, it's collaboration at it's best. My manager is also great, I'll miss them a lot when I leave. I get a lot of support from my manager

Some nice and diverse people here

No "teamwork" mentality. People are driven by individual success instead of teamwork and growth.

Less politics between middle managers, departments

My immediate team is very laidback, collaborative, honest. I can speak my mind with them, we even tell each other how much we make so we can get equal pay. Managers are good at creating this environment

I cant think of anything

Moving into a new space in 2016 did a lot to benefit the company culture.

Stop reinforcing the people that are known to create problems. Listen to employees, especially the many that are leaving

Listen to your people. Be humble. Ditch the nepotism

It was very streamlined, no 5-stage interview process. I had only 2 interviews, both with my future manager and then the VP

Nice interviewers and interesting questions

Very easy interviews, more behavioral focus

My team, my manager remote working, wellness days, opportunity to work with large companies, the industry itself

Brandwatch cares about their employees. They are constantly asking for feedback and take things into action to improve morale. For example, the NA employees now have the same vacation days as our headquarters, 25 vacation days to be exact.

I do not see how it can improve

The company is crumbling and people are leaving left and right.
