Pros

You will not have a worse job than this

Cons

Fake positive reviews forced on current employees. The CEO reveals made-up info in her review. Nobody was told about a "takeover" when I was there - like ok lady your company is just that precious...just stop! They need to exploit the working visa because everyone local has already heard about the sinking ship they have. Glad I got out before it was too late. My worst nightmare. I needed so much meds and therapy to cope with the stress of this job. I was underpaid (synonym of Brizi) so could not afford anyone decent. Instead I had to reconnect with my abusive father after 20 years, to just get some emotional support. Yet all my coworkers are brainwashed into blaming me for the numerous failures they face - most of them exist today. Shows you my importance, but no appreciation. I am not surprised. They are wasting top talent there since the CEO is a micromanager with no idea about the industry. She is best 30 year old in marketing? Ask her slaves what they think of that. They had to explain their culture several times to me and it was all for show. All lies. Their employees all believe Brizi has recreated 1930s Germany. Don't be fooled. Everyone there thinks they are better than the rest. Sales team think product is crap and engineers are clueless there, and they ask the engineers with brain teasers to test their intelligence. Also engineers always moan about every new client they get. The incel culture is strong among them too. Toxic environment. Avoid at all costs. Work for them if you want depression. Night sweats. Panic attacks.

As much as we at Brizi always welcome feedback, writing reviews like this multiple times since we parted ways is not the best way to resolve your frustration. It’s clear that there was a source of friction when you were here that caused you a great deal of frustration, and it’s something we take seriously. Nobody at Brizi wants anyone to have panic attacks or go through depression. We would not be in business if the things you are claiming are actually true. We have openly asked to meet with a variety of team members to sit down with you and resolve your concerns, all without success. Again we encourage you to reach out to us if you believe there are any outstanding concerns. We will be replying to any of your future posts with this same message.

Pros

Been able to learn more in my short time with Brizi, than I have in school and all of my other previous employers. Awesome people, family atmosphere. Everyone goes through the success and failure together and all members are aligned on the big vision. The product itself is incredible, and our job is to allow fans to capture their best moments and memories inside arenas and stadiums!

Cons

This isn't a 9-5 corporate job. You do impactful work and are held accountable. It's not easy work, but it's an incredible challenge. If you have the right attitude, these aren't cons!

Pros

Absolutely none. The treatment I received from Brizi was completely unethical.

Cons

I have been an independent digital visual designer for almost a decade. Brizi are by far the worst people I have ever dealt with. I have had my share of issues in such a long period of time (as is natural), but Brizi were beyond anything I have ever experienced. They simply ripped me off. We agreed on the job and set milestones. Money was held in Escrow for the first portion of the job. I spent a considerable amount of time getting the work up and running and sent it over to the person I was in dealing with, who then requested multiple edits to the work. Next morning I awoke to find the job cancelled with them saying they had decided to 'go with another contractor' and that they would not be paying me for my work thus far. No feedback, no nothing - just withdrew from escrow and told me I was gone. I later found out they had been courting multiple contractors (no doubt telling them they were all hired) and were essentially having them all create work and just 'shopping' for what they wanted (no doubt without paying for any of them). I'm still trying to get my money for the time I have spent, but it is proving difficult. Treading contractors and workers in this way is cruel, unfair and completely unethical. Brizi present themselves as a forward facing clean company but the way they use people is a disgrace. Shame on Brizi.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. We know how challenging it can be to work as a contractor for startups and appreciate your work. Brizi has a rigorous screening process, even for some contractors on important projects, and we do our best to make it clear upfront when anyone is doing a case or are working on a project. The employee you dealt with is no longer with the company, and we apologize on their behalf if we are at fault for the misunderstanding.
