RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Brandwatch full-time (More than a year)
Pros
- Great work / life balance; arrive on-time in the morning, leave on time at the end of the day.
- Great company culture; games and other fun stuff to do whilst at and out of work.
- Amazing place to develop your skills in whatever discipline you work in.
- Possibility of progression seems healthy.
- Salary is reasonable
- Some lovely perks; free food, massages, juicebar and pastries.
Whilst I could not say the job is perfect, in the real world this seems about as good as it gets. It's a genuinely fun and stimulating place to be, as well as a good place to develop a career.Cons
With that said, the product is not as polished as it could be which can cause frustrations to filter down.
Advice to Management
Concentrate on making a brilliant product that is consistently reliable and works as it should - new features are great but the basics need to be sorted and kept nailed down. People will feel really good working on something they really believe in.
In terms of the general culture at the company though, that's great so keep doing what you're doing.Brandwatch 2017-04-26 08:32 PDT

No OfferNegative ExperienceBrandwatch 2017-07-20 05:32 PDTApplication
I applied online. I interviewed at Brandwatch.
Interview
Following submitting the initial application form I was offered a telephone interview. After exchanging a number of emails with the interviewer this interview was scheduled in. However I never received the call, or any responses to my emails trying to determine why the interview hadn't taken place. I then contacted the general jobs email contact to ask if the role is still open, to which I also received no response. This has been a disappointing experience as I was really excited about the company and the role, and also slightly bewildering in a sense that it appears that I have been ignored by more than one person at Brandwatch.
