Pros

I've been with BDA for almost 11 months now and I've seen both sides of what most of the reviews on here touch on. - Work hard/play hard environment - Frequent and fun company events - Beer Friday - Working on projects for international & Fortune 500 companies - Friendly staff - Company is growing rapidly - Many career paths if you want to try something different - Woodinville is a nice city to work in (next to wineries and more) - Benefits package is great - Pretty flexible with time off - "Make what you want out of it" attitude - Gives you the opportunity to create the change/improvements that you see fit - Great environment for someone who is driven and self disciplined - Annual reviews

Cons

- Everyone wears multiple hats - Starting salary was significantly lower than what what I was expecting (especially in this absurd housing market) - Sales driven company which doesn't seem to invest as much in the other areas/departments - A bit outdated... Seems like the company is just beginning to hatch from its 90's / 2000's shell - Understaffed in certain areas. Puts a lot of pressure of some employees to make up for the job that has yet to be created or staffed

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.
