Brightly Software Reviews

Toxic Work Culture: The environment took a massive dive after the recent merger. The new upper management has completely shifted the atmosphere, making day-to-day operations incredibly stressful and chaotic. Pathetic Work-Life Balance: Management expects employees to use AI to magically achieve a 5x to 10x spike in productivity. The workload is completely unmanageable within standard working hours. Unfair "Startup" Expectations: Despite being an established SaaS company, managers demand a "startup hustle." We are routinely expected to extend shifts, work on weekends, and log in on holidays—with absolutely no comp-offs granted for the extra time. Unprofessional Leadership: Several managers severely lack basic people skills, often behaving rudely and unprofessionally toward their teams. Zero Learning & Innovation: There are no new learning opportunities. The company’s sole focus has shifted exclusively to rapid profit and output, completely abandoning innovation, employee growth, and core company values. Dismal Appraisals: Despite the grueling hours and the intense push for multiplied productivity, the appraisals are absolutely pathetic and do not reflect the extra effort demanded from the team.

When I joined this company, the culture was very good. Lately, as time has passed, a lot of layoffs have happened, which has changed the overall company structure. People who don’t have technical knowledge are leading projects. Getting praised due to favoritism. If you are not on good terms with your manager, the whole team will take their side because they have to please the manager and do what he wants. Layoffs happen at any time, even after you have given years to the company, and they give a reason of performance after spending so many years in the company. It’s actually funny. They already have a bad image in the industry, and just to avoid calling it a layoff, they put you on PIP. Favoritism is at its peak, and there is no career growth.
