Pros

Some of the people and the benefits like health insurance and hybrid work. It’s a good place to get experience and move on to something better

Cons

The job comes with unrealistic expectations. Hard work often goes unnoticed, while even the smallest mistakes are scrutinized. There’s zero tolerance for errors, and employees are expected to be flawless. Communication with upper management is practically nonexistent, and workplace cliques are excessive. Overtime isn’t compensated, so any extra hours are essentially unpaid. While the company promotes itself as a great place to work, the reality is far from it—best to steer clear. Car park is the worst thing ever and the pay is terrible.

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.
