Pros

The people are overall pretty amazing, motivated, positive, fun to be around. A leading industry which is exciting to be at the forefront of, a great opportunity to learn and grow skillset re:internet/web technology. Nice office with start-up culture perks like ping-pong, snacks,lunches,etc. Most people care a whole lot about culture and the clients, at least at lower levels. Competitive healthcare and PTO offerings.

Cons

Questionable leadership promotion and hiring decisions at times which creates a very negative impact. Lack of career pathing and promotions are typically minimal in terms of compensation increase. Change is inevitable/OK but sometimes is not logical. Supposed to smile and "roll with change" even if it does not benefit the employees. Long hours to hit goals, work-life balance can be a challenge.

Pros

There is a lot of new leadership breathing newness into the company. There is a rebrand on the horizon, different focuses and positioning, complimentary portfolio products, brilliant staff, new company values and more.

Cons

There has been a ton of change and while the new leadership is great, they are still getting their touch on things. This isn't all so much a con in general as it is to absorb, communicate, explain and soak in.

Pros

- BC hires great people - Is finally focusing on the product and its ideal customer rather than trying to be a product that it isn't. - Supportive culture - Good work life balance - Senior and Director leadership is caring and supportive - Really positive outlook for the product

Cons

- Has cut 10% of staff every year for the last 3 years and last year they cut most of their top performers that brought in the most revenue - No 401k match (although they may now) - Lower pay than most tech companies for the same roles - Either BC has the right people in place or they have the right direction to work in with the right leadership but never both - If you are remote, you aren't invited to the office much even for kick offs or planning. So you will feel a bit secluded. - Not much room for career growth as they keep cutting people
