BDA reviews

the problems start at the top. the owners love YES MEN and therefore surround themselves with high paid executives that don't offer anything real to the company, but instead simply implement every whim the owners might have from day to day. This is what makes BDA inherently broken. Over the last 6-9 months the company recently went through at least 3 rounds of lay-offs that gutted the talent-pool from the company, leaving it a hollow shell of confusion and frustration. The lay-offs were a result of repeated poor executive management decisions, despite warnings from employees and some former executives (since owners like YES MEN, alternative views don't last long)... and not a single executive has been replaced. instead they decided to lay-off the people who gave years of loyal, hard work. The reviews that discuss the "boys club" mentality are referring to this type of leadership. if you decent, you are let go. if you work hard, you will get no recognition. if you think your job is safe, you are delusional. Rumors continue to circulate throughout the company about financial issues and more down-sizing and the response is to simply deny any and all of these rumors. There were times when we watched as the owners joked about them in official company meetings, as if these rumors of potential unemployment is a joking matter. The people running BDA think that company morale can be bought with beers and hot dogs. They are completely out of touch and surrounded by people who tell them they are right about everything that has nearly destroyed what was once a great company.
