Bummer of a Place to Work

Technical

Pros

There are many nice people at Bsquare. Individual technical teams mostly work well together.

Cons

So many negatives about the company! A pervasive feeling of negativity. I've never worked somewhere in which everyone seems so downtrodden and gloomy. Four (and only four) customers who perpetually seem dissatisfied with Bsquare. An overwhelming lack of communication between management and regular technical employees. Endless nitpicking and a lack of confidence in plans we had all recently agreed to. Stated commitment to a work/life balance which disappears when work starts to get even slightly challenging. A lack of confidence in senior technical team members such that ideas need to be continually be fought for. And pay and benefits that are just average compared with other tech companies.

Early 2019 was a difficult time, we were reimagining the company direction after years of working on a product that took us nowhere fast. However we have moved past that and restructured into a more collaborative environment that has brought forth a new vision that we are excited about. We have vastly improved our communication across the company to ensure transparency on the state of the business. Through a lot of hard work, changes in leadership, and a solid business plan we have avoided the iceberg and are sailing with a strong headwind. Thank you for your feedback and we wish you the best.

Don't be fooled

Pros

Free snacks, paid parking, close to transit.

Cons

They advertise themselves as a stable, publicly traded company with the feel of a startup. Don't be fooled, this is 100% old white guy corporate with a chain of command mentality. Leadership is ineffective and self serving. There is zero room for growth or advancement. Anyone with real talent quickly figures this out and is gone in a year or less. Those who are left behind are stressed and underappreciated broken souls. Benefits are mediocre at best. Company culture is lacking and often times oppressive. There is no real product and the few customers they have, are not happy. If you want to work in a challenging yet positive environment, then this is not the company for your. If you just want to collect a paycheck, then it could be for you.
