Great company, great people, work life balance; Too bad they are laying off so many people

R&d engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

BSCI is filled with a lot of very talented and motivated people in addition to being very experienced. The company's culture is one of continous improvement. Therefore, there's always opportunity to learn.

Cons

Senior management is very slow to promote. Lower level managers and supervisors are open and willing to promote but senior management always seem to but the stops on promotions. BSCI is a big company, and therefore it's sometimes difficult to understand where decisions are coming from. Not a whole lot of movement within company if you're interested in changing careers within the company. You seem to build a reputation and get pigeon-holed.

Great company, but for how much longer?

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great, dedicated, hard-working employees. Most that I've worked with are talented people doing there best to put out great work. The managers I've been under have been caring compassionate supervisors that looked out for the interests of their direct reports.

Cons

R&D and innovation are suffering. There's no appetite for riskier technologies or products. Sustaining engineering, six sigma and lean manufacturing are taking the place of innovation, creativity and discovery. Bureaucracy is becoming a huge problem. Automation of common tasks is forcing a one-size-fits-all environment that suits almost no one and makes it frustratingly hard to get tasks completed. The culture promotes too many pointless/innefficient meetings. There isn't a long term vision outlined that employees have a clear way to support, people are left wondering "how do I fit in" and "where are we going"?
