Pros

Free snacks, paid parking, close to transit.

Cons

They advertise themselves as a stable, publicly traded company with the feel of a startup. Don't be fooled, this is 100% old white guy corporate with a chain of command mentality. Leadership is ineffective and self serving. There is zero room for growth or advancement. Anyone with real talent quickly figures this out and is gone in a year or less. Those who are left behind are stressed and underappreciated broken souls. Benefits are mediocre at best. Company culture is lacking and often times oppressive. There is no real product and the few customers they have, are not happy. If you want to work in a challenging yet positive environment, then this is not the company for your. If you just want to collect a paycheck, then it could be for you.

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.
