Pros

They provide an onsite Happy Hour.

Cons

Antiquated systems that impede efficiency and results in amateurish presentation styles to the clients. Several managers are not qualified - in some cases, no credentials - for their subject matter. They are in roles that should be earned by professional accomplishments, not just because you've been there 10 years. Not very inclusive of remote offices and corp. communication is lacking. Colleagues compete against each other, as opposed to help build each other up. I witnessed "forwarding" of external e-mail content, that would be edited to cover up individual's mistakes, before the message was seen by management. They call everyone "Tiggers" which is rather juvenile.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. Communication, whether positive or negative is important for us to hear, that’s why we conduct our monthly all company video conference across 30+ locations, and record our weekly client services update to create an environment of awareness. As we’ve grown and are spread out across several continents and multiple time zones, personal communication has become harder but it’s something we feel is important to continue to strive for. Tigger is a universal symbol for optimism and positivity. We aren’t trying to commercialize a Disney trademark, we are merely using it as an internal reference point to choose optimism over the alternative. We're sorry things didn’t work out at BDA for you. We wish you success in your next professional endeavor.

Pros

- Decent base salary if this is your first job out of University. - Free Swag - WFH Fridays - Smart and helpful colleagues

Cons

- Incredibly stressful, do NOT take this job if you do not have a high stress tolerance. - A ton of competing priorities that almost always require quick/immediate action. - You get a ton of emails and are expected to be able to pull up and reference any of them at a moments notice. - Constant whiplash between doing deep, focused work (presentation/catalogs) that have a ton of details and require your full attention versus quick/rapid fire tasks that you must address immediately. There were days where I was working on one presentation all day and couldn't get it done because of how much I was getting pinged to resolve other issues. - To get promoted you must essentially do the job of 2 people (CSC and PSA). Beyond that, there is no real career progression unless you want to go into sales. - Management always says to raise your hand if you need help. But when you ask for help, there is always pushback in the form of others having more task hours than you. - CEO took away one of the WFH days. When Qualtrics had negative feedback he essentially said "If you don't like it - then leave". He is a "Do as I say, not as I do." type of leader. - Workload and responsibilities are not commiserate to the salary.
