Pros

This is a good place to start off as an entry level software engineer. It was a great place to solidify what I learned in college. They do offer some nice perks but that only goes so far.

Cons

BF puts a ridiculous amount of workload on its engineers. Our contract say 40 hour weeks, but somehow management expects 45 hours on the timesheet. Management expects us to work late and on weekends for promises made to clients without the input from engineering--all for below average pay and limited opportunities.
