Bentley management is Xenophobic especially around the headquarters location. If you are liked, you will be kept on a high pedestal and guidance will be provided for success. I you are not liked you will be treated like an outsider. When visiting there, I experienced complete ignorance from teams and management. Middle management is not qualified/fit for purpose Especially Project Delivery and Civil management who seemed to never have time to help visitors (employees) get involved and trained. Sharing all users’ issues went nowhere with Product Management (4 years later the product is still the same with the same problems given by Users directly) Sales team always asked for more from Product Management especially around what is in the pipeline and the knowledge was kept in secrecy. Found out later that half the product management staff hardly had any technical knowledge of their products but had a marketing background, which is perplexing. And that explained why they knew how to talk and convince anyone they know what they are talking about. If we are one company the information should be shared and not kept in just the team. It would have helped other teams like Sales explain and promote the products. When the training was requested it was given, but in 10-15 min chunks and from 5 different product managers who sounded like they were reading scripts and unsure of what their product can do. My experience with Bentley Systems was unpleasant after seeing how bad the management team lied to the users and to each other. If you want to be in a company that is toxic, and you must look over your shoulder to see who’s looking or wanting to degrade you as a person with good knowledge and experience. This is the place for you.
Pay Increases in this company is peanuts.
Promotion, if you are liked you will go places your knowledge has nothing to do with your promotion.
