Pros

Can be a tight community when employees stay long enough to get to know each other. Interesting projects, small groups work well together when a strong PM is present which are somewhat rare. Some great people working there, but there is a flood of people leaving so they may not be there for long.

Cons

The wall between upper management and the rest of the company is ridiculous. Employees are really just numbers on a spread sheet and considered expendable. It's all about billing. You don't bill you aren't considered valuable. The execs are cheap and refuse to treat their employees like they are valued. Raises are absurd (1%-2% if you're lucky) Technologically they are behind the curve now and when I was last there they were trying to play catch up in markets that they can't get a foot hold into.

Thank you! We implemented our Work Anywhere policy in early 2020 and it was well received. And one of our leadership teams’ goals is to be transparent with our team members on all aspects of the state of the business. We are glad to hear that is being felt throughout the company.

Pros

I worked at Bsquare for over 9 years and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. There are all sorts of personalities and styles through the company but what unites everyone is the desire to implement embedded & IoT technologies. If you're interested at all in those areas you should give Bsquare a look. My favorite parts of working for Bsquare: 1. Great company culture and super intelligent workforce. 2. Nice giveaways like free Pop/Coffee and weekly fruit supply. 3. New technology everywhere always. 4. Serious stability with plenty of cash in the bank to weather even the worst of storms. 5. Exciting development in the products area with DataV.

Cons

I can't think of too many bad things to say about Bsquare. Like a lot of technology companies in the IoT space they're working hard on new initiatives to drive revenue and provide customers with better access to knowledge from their data. If you're not interested in an agile approach to new business areas and development this might not be the place for you. But if you like the stability of a medium sized company partnered with the excitement of new technology initiatives then Bsquare should be at the top of your list.
