Pros

Progressive tech company with decent vacation

Cons

Constant restructuring of the sales team makes it impossible to grow. Constant restructuring of commercial offerings makes your customers mad. Most of my time spent on calls was with disgruntled customers, trying to convince them to stick with Bentley. Management is so concerned with making themselves look good and making sure their numbers in the CRM are where their manager wants them to be that they’ll do anything, including making up phone calls that didn’t actually take place. The software is overpriced and the capabilities are not compelling enough to get users to move to the latest version, forcing customers to pay for software they don’t even use. Every 3 months approximately 3 - 10 people from the sales group get fired without any fair warning which puts the whole sales floor on edge and makes everyone want to leave for fear of job security. I can honestly say being let go from Bentley was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Good luck to anyone still surviving Bentley sales and anyone looking for new employment should look elsewhere.
