Pluspunten

- Product training is good and thorough (videos, webinars etc). - Fellow comrades in the trenches are an absolute pleasure to work with and allows one to tolerate the madness for longer than would otherwise be possible. - Good path to move upwards in your career to NetSuite and Oracle - Reasonably good packages on offer as a new employee however once you’re in, pay rises and promotions are tiny and few and far between.

Minpunten

Bronto Software is a company that purports to have a culture of "openness, approachability and transparency". After working there for well over a year I can confirm that this is most certainly not the case. Every company has a culture that is ultimately enforced from the top down. Bronto is of no exception, and it is a pity that the current management team of this business is such that the attempted manipulation and over-exertion of control of its employees is never ending. The reader will of course not just look at this post, but will see other reviews specifically regarding the London office citing similar issues: manipulation, mind games, micro-management, limited flexibility. Staying late is an expectation (even after individual targets have been met). Strict policy to be at your desk at 8:30am or you’re getting in trouble. If you are coming to Bronto to work in sales, then be very careful. The turnover is absolutely insane like nothing I have ever seen, and they have not hit their new business target for several quarters - (Note to management: there is only a certain number of times you can blame others for this before you need to be looking in the mirror as to where the problem truly lies). I must also echo the previous reviewer's comments regarding the supposed Graduate Scheme. Any graduate reading this should be absolutely clear on the fact that there is no graduate program. None. There is nothing. You might think you're coming to work for Oracle (because legally, that would be correct) but make no mistake that you will not go on a single industry-standard training course, and you won't be spending any time in other departments. You will be sitting there, at your desk, learning absolutely nothing and making 60 dials a day "or else". Note: Many people leave to go to NetSuite or Oracle. None have come the other way. Don’t let this or the previous reviews put you off. With new management, the company has a lot of potential.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
