"TERRIBLE INTERVIEW FOLLOW UP"

Pros

The company seems to have nice people. I've known this Company has been in business for a long time, so I assume they are doing something right somewhere.

Cons

TERRIBLE follow up with regards to interview process. I was promised a call back, and an update. It's been 3 weeks, and I've heard nothing from anyone. I assume this is a reflection of how they do business. Very disappointing!!

Pros

Creative atmosphere where hard work is generally rewarded. Company is oriented towards encouraging a "we're a family" feel, and those who embrace that are generally pretty happy. Work hard, play hard is at the heart of the company. Be prepared to work hard, with some fun on the side.

Cons

Well every company has downsides. If you don't buy into the company culture you're going to have a hard time here.

Run and don't look back...

Pros

Some pretty nice and fun employees, fun parties, learned how to deal with very difficult people, learned how to only care about my own well-being in a job. I did get some good industry knowledge (not like I will ever go back to that industry). Working here will help you understand what to look out for and avoid when searching for a new job. The glowing, positive reviews you see on here that bash the negative posts, that is upper management trying to cover things up again. CEO is nice and if he doesn’t know your name will just say “Hey buddy!”

Cons

BDA is literally a revolving door. I have never in my career worked at such a toxic place. Worst HR team I have ever encountered. One HR rep even asked about an anonymous phone call that was made to the company where you can get anonymous legal advice...they talked about employees to other employees, never followed up on any issue that was brought up or asked employees for their take on an issue that may arrise. If there is something going on with a team or department, upper management will find someone to "pin" it on just to cover their own butts and the real culprit will be rewarded. Bad employees aren’t dealt with even when yelling or swearing meetings. Oh, swearing is almost a must if you work here, especially on the co-owners team...
