A really productive and great place to work - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Webdam

Talented hard-working employees. Great culture, especially in the San Mateo, CA office. Lots of nice perks like catered breakfasts and lunches, tons of food, drinks, snacks, on-site gym, good work/life balance. Leadership is solid and a strong effort is made to have frequent, transparent communication. We merged with Bynder in February but IMHO things are going very well. Mergers/Acquisitions are never easy but I really feel that the planning process and progress being made in these first 6 months has been excellent. Employees are very involved in the process and able to give input. Our VC is providing excellent guidance and support, doing a great job of helping to keep us focused and on schedule to successfully merge into one company.

No real negatives. Due to the acquisition/merger, there is a lot to figure out and get done. There is also a LOT of opportunity ahead, so it will be important for employees to embrace the change and decide to be a part of this company's future success.

Was part of Shutterstock and then was not..

If you are considering a career with Webdam (now Bender), don’t bother and make a mistake. Avoid this company at all costs. Webdam used to be a decent and fun company to work for in 2016 and 2017 but far from it now. Current and former employees know this company is a sinking ship, but that does not stop the conniving management from trying to pull wool over prospective employees. Reading all the fake five star reviews popping up is hilarious - presumably posted by management sycophants. Few people benefitted as a result of the merger (it is easy to figure out, just look at their linkedin profile to see big title changes). Not one of these folks deserved the promotion, while they lied through the teeth to the general workforce about how the merger was going to work out. Post merger, no one had a cohesive go-forward direction and they are still struggling to this day. The merger created redundancy in roles and talented people are leaving. Work culture is in the gutter with no clear strategy, leadership or even clear employee goal setting. Everything is arbitrary and Management does what it pleases. It is just a matter of time before the market for their product evaporates and freeware in the likes of Box and Dropbox eat Webdam (and Bender) for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
