"Don't work here - it won't be anything like what they sell you in the interviews. No one feels good about the work they have to do and you won't be able to bring your best skills to use. You will be frustrated every day, and amazed at the lack of progress and bad decisionmaking. There have been virtually no new customers in North America in 3 years. They have no idea how to create a good product or sell or market it. You won't make any money in sales and you will be ignored in marketing. If you are in product dev, you will be mired in disorganization and nonsense."

What don't you like about working at BroadVision?

Decisions are mostly non sense and without input from the people with the right expertise."
