Birdeye reviews

They failed to get a round of funding because the investment companies learned of the massive turnover and closing of multiple offices (their competitors all received funding recently) The entire enterprise sales had trouble competing in that space and collapsed. Multiple Vice President of Sales have left in the past 2 years with an average stay of 2-4 months. They left for great companies like Salesforce, Compass but Naveen downplays it as if they took a step back in their career They have trouble attracting top talent and promote those who drink the kool-aid The CFO is also HR so a major conflict of interest. They once had an HR hire quit in her first week after so saw the corruption and backwards policies. I’ve worked at 5 start ups and BirdEye is by far the most toxic and poorly run I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t refer my worst enemy to this dump Quitting Birdeye was the happiest day of my career. So many great companies in the Dallas area with better pay, product and most importantly management Save your generic HR reply Waifu. Birdeye won’t be around in 3 years let alone be going public.

Things were okay before Covid, but just ok. Birdeye is still in a start-up phase so things were definitely never perfect. But once the president, Dave, got hired on and Covid-19 hit, things became a living hell. Within the first month they laid off over 30% of their employees but then hired externally 3 sales engineers, sales trainers (search up Guru Ganesha, he trained us, you will have a good laugh if you look him up online I promise you!), VP of enterprise, and VP of marketing. Sales were dropping significantly as Birdeye is the highest price product (we are priced 3x higher then our competitors, but do practically the same thing) and we were in a pandemic. But instead of acknowledging this, they blamed their salesforce and would yell at us almost everyday and force us to work overtime with no extra pay (also our quota never lowered during this time). I know multiple people that had to quit because they were having panic attacks and suffering from depression because management was treating us so terribly. After this technique of theirs didn't work (shocker!), they started making more cuts and blamed it on sales performance, trying to stop employees from receiving unemployment insurance. This company is extremely shady!! They are firing people left to right but are continually hiring externally as well, mostly for upper level position. Something really weird and fishy is going on, and everyone knows it. Even last week a manager quit on the spot... Whatever you do, do not work here, its not worth it!!!!!
