Pros

Well respected product in an industry full of copy cats.

Cons

I'm torn about this place. I did genuinely like working there, but would always feel weird when management belittled and berated former employees. It was/is (I still know people in-house who tell me it still happens) typical for the COO and CEO to say, "so-and-so did it this way and as a result we are in this position." Wrong approach, guys. First of all, speak those words to the current employee's face and either let them go, or put them on a path of improvement. Secondly, you look foolish when you blame other people. That approach fosters no accountability and exhibits zero leadership. Prospective employees also beware of the overly generic 5-star reviews. Most if not all were submitted by one HR employee charged with maintaining a high Glassdoor rating. If you do interview at Brivo ask if people are happy. Ask about what the company is focused on and how each department contributes to that focus.

Pros

-Innovative Tech -Meals 3/4 times a week

Cons

-Everyone at the VP level or above basically just shuffles from meeting to meeting all day and offers very little support to the rest of the team actually doing the work. -Sales Targets are a joke and are unobtainable by the LARGE majority. (Think APPROXIMATELY above 70%) Don't expect OTE....even if you are good at what you do. -Sales commissions are complex, and if the customer cancels their subscription up to 12 months later...the company will take your commission back! -Commissions are opaque. Despite of asking for a written breakdown on commission calculations for nearly 40 pay periods...management will only not provide one. You literally have no idea what you earned, if it's correct, or if you're being paid fairly.
