Pros

Bsk used to be one of the best places to work to could ever ask for. You were valued. Your opinions mattered. Your work life and personal life were both valued. You knew the c suite had s vision and knew how to reach it. Today, that's all gone. Bsk is a sinking ship and it all started with it became a "sales readiness" platform.

Cons

Horrible executive hiring decisions. A CSO with a vision that does not match brainshark as an organization. Sales reps who couldn't care less about selling well as long as they get their commission. A path that changes daily and a product that is so full of glitches and bugs it's become an embarrassing mine field.

We were disappointed to read this review and learn you feel this way. I would have embraced the opportunity to do this face to face. As CSO, it is my responsibility to make sure that the sales organization is carrying out the company strategy. The company decided to move to focus on the sales readiness space. My job was and is to align and prepare a sales organization that can execute on that strategy. Not everyone is going to agree with a new strategy. Change is difficult. We have carried out that strategy and we have now seen record quarter over quarter growth. We have tried to be as transparent as possible sharing our recent wins, conducting All Hands Sales meetings, Town Halls, breakfast feedback sessions and recently added a new future leaders program. My hope is that you have been able to participate in some or all of these and your experience has changed. We are always striving to do better and would welcome your feedback in person so it can be addressed. We want all of our employees to feel valued and have a positive experience.
