Pros

Brevo used to be great, but things are changing. Compared to lower-tier service-based companies, it's still one of the best. However, when compared to its own performance from a few years ago, it's deteriorating day by day.

Cons

- Brevo is forcing unnecessary work-from-home rules. - The CEO talks about collaboration, while managers focus on productivity — they need to get on the same page. - You can’t rely on Brevo’s policies because they keep changing. You might read a good policy one day, and the next day, you get a message saying it’s gone or now has too many conditions. - Engineers are expected to sit 8 hours straight in front of a laptop without considering whether that makes sense. - Carbon footprint concerns only seem to matter for employee perks, not daily office commutes. - If a team-building trip is over 60 km, suddenly the carbon impact becomes a big deal. - The work-from-office policy mainly targets junior employees, while senior staff enjoy WFH privileges, flights, and luxury stays for special occasions. - When employee joins they market too much about their global event but in reality its getting delayed again and again. - Its not people's company anymore, most of the employees are agree with this. - This year, it's clearly stated that salary hikes will be low. Brevo is a profitable and growing company, but when it’s time to reward hardworking employees, this is how they respond. How would management feel if employees said they’ll only give that same small percentage of effort to their work? - It feels like Brevo wants employees to quit on their own to avoid being blamed for layoffs.
