Pros
Brighter Vision was one of the best professional experiences of my life. The people I worked with were smart, motivated, and downright fun! Leadership was inclusive and open-minded. They expect a lot out of you though, and being held to a high standard isn’t for everyone. The company was sold in 2020 to EverCommerce and all employees had options. It wasn’t millions or anything, but it was enough to pay off my student loans and credit card debt.
Cons
Pay was always low, but the options made up for it after the company sold. And pay was able to go up after the sale, too. This was a fast moving startup that required team members to be nimble and play a lot of roles. That isn’t for everyone. Leadership has high expectations, but high performers were promoted quickly and poor performers were let go.
