BrightTALK Reviews

Lack of transparency. The executives say there are clear ways to develop, but it is obvious they only want to promote and assist their clique within BrightTALK. The career development program is failing all the entry-level employees and only serves the people who've managed to escape. The culture in the various offices varies, but overall the company is toxic, lacks diversity, and isn't innovating at all. The SF office is hyper cliquey, very exclusive, and tend to shun people who don't fit the normal "BrightTALKer" persona. The Denver office is great people wise, but there is no visibility and communication with the other opffices. Thus the promotion and development paths are hindered and the same people are always at the top while the rest struggle to hit targets. The NY office is so siloed and separate it's hard to say what they're like. The London office is also siloed and very removed from the rest of the company. There is no collaboration between any of the offices and it hardly feels like their your colleagues, mostly just feel like a competition and a who can cut as many throats to get to the top. The SDR role at BrightTALK encompasses much more than your typical SDR role. You take on many tasks that normally would fall under marketing ops, content marketing, social media, event management/planning, account management, customer relationships, and more...

No one hits quota and the expectations go beyond your role of a traditional SDR role. The senior sellers only hang out with each other and make a point to exclude you. If you're a girl, forget about getting a long with the other female managers in the office. Forget about being invited to happy hours if you've been with the company for less than 2 years. Oh and not to mention the pay. Expect to be paid less than the industry standard of what other SDR's in SF are being paid.
