Pros

Challenging work, large and complex, always something to work on, fix

Cons

Aggressively getting rid of US employees and replacing with incompetent offshore employees in India. Usually need to replace one American with 2-3 Indians. Spent much of my time replying to IMs from offshore employees, writing documentation for them, fixing their mistakes, etc. There's a bare bones US based staff that keeps crap from totally falling apart, apply if you want to join this masochistic group.

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.
