Pros

A mature company with some great tools and systems to make day to day life easier. Some really long term employees in place that help drive innovation

Cons

Hiring process is slow and cumbersome and in recent years I saw more weaker candidates being hired. Poor project management lead to unnecessary stress and pressure on employees. I would regularly get called at home even up to 11pm when better planning would have eliminated the need. the mentality was that those who could not cope with the pressure were weak.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
