Pros

Challenging environment. Constant work so never a lull.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities, if any, when not located at Corp despite so many locations across the globe. Will work you 80+ hours if you keep succeeding, expecting you to keep going and ignore you when asking for help.

It is true work-life balance can be challenging, but entirely achievable, at BDA. When you are good at what you do, members want to get in on that action by getting your help. However, you have the right and responsibility to only say yes to projects that fit within your own work life balance. But being true to yourself and staying within your “target work rate” (think target heart rate at the gym) makes you better! Too much and you will damage yourself, too little and you will not achieve results.
