Vantaggi

They occasionally bring in lunch for the teams.

Svantaggi

Most of the negative reviews are accurate, but it’s to be expected from a company run by a couple of 25 year olds with zero experience in technology (and a bucket of VC money). I was initially excited to have the opportunity to work on a newer product within a niche industry, but once you dig in you realize how troubling the situation is. Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect: - High turnover. At least 6 people were let go within the span of time I was there, and I’m certain none of them were provided an explanation. Don’t complain about the lack of blinds / glare on your computer screen. They will fire you. - Long hours / unreasonable expectations....(but this doesn’t apply if you go out drinking with the CEO and her pals). - Poorly designed tech stack. The database architecture alone made one employee contemplate suicide. Definitely something out of a horror film. - There is limited / no parking, so if you don’t live close enough to walk/bike it can be a hassle. - There is a weird odor in that building. Possibly dead animals in the walls, or one of the BDR’s leftover lunches from weeks ago. To this day I’m still astonished at how much money they manage to fleece from customers, considering how mediocre the product is. Bridgit’s main competitors (PlanGrid and Fieldwire) offer a much more polished and reliable user experience. I wish I had done my homework before taking the job. Live and learn.

Vantaggi

I have been very impressed by level of communication—and communication style—across the company. There is certainly a lot to do, as there is at any startup, but Bridgit is relatively free from the frenetic throw-spaghetti-at-the-wall approach that's far too common at startups. No egos + empathetic executives make for a solid culture. Resources (budget, tools, etc.) are available as needed.

Svantaggi

Collaborating across timezones can be tricky, but worth it in exchange for the benefits of remote work.

Vantaggi

- Good people (besides c-suite)

Svantaggi

Where to begin... - Poor management - CEO runs everything based on popularity, hires her friends who have no experience and they magically get multiple promotions a month in - Terrible work/life balance (even though that is one of the "perks") - Belittling during team meetings when concerns are brought up - Shady practices Overall a terrible place to work.
