Great Place to Build Clinical and Leadership Skills - Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) Blue Gems ABA Employee Review

The state director, is the true definition of a leader, and brings everyone together during times of uncertainty. He has an open door policy, is transparent, and does what he says he will do.

Any cons have nothing to do with BlueGems but more directly related to the political environment surrounding insurance and bad players in the field.

I have really enjoyed my experience working as a BCBA at Blue Gems. One of the things that stands out the most is the support provided by the clinical leadership team. They are always available when questions arise, provide meaningful feedback, and genuinely care about both the clients and the clinicians they support. The care coordinators have also been amazing to work with. They consistently stay on top of scheduling, communication, and the many moving pieces involved in providing services. Their support makes a significant difference in helping things run smoothly and allows me to focus more fully on my clients and clinical responsibilities. What I appreciate most about Blue Gems is the collaborative and supportive environment. I have always felt respected, heard, and encouraged to continue growing professionally. It is clear that the company values its staff and is committed to providing high-quality services to the families it serves. Overall, Blue Gems has been a great place to work, and I am grateful to be part of a team that truly cares about making a positive impact.

One potential challenge of working as a BCBA in general is that the role can be busy and fast-paced, especially when balancing clinical responsibilities, caregiver communication, staff support, documentation, and scheduling changes. Like many ABA settings, there can be a lot of moving pieces throughout the day, which requires flexibility and strong time-management skills. However, the support from the clinical leadership team and care coordinators helps make these challenges manageable.
