Pros

The culture and leadership of BTS is second to none. Great co-workers, interesting projects, and copious learning opportunities. No one will ever tell you "no" if you want to take ownership and develop something new - the team will support you every step of the way. Clients can be demanding, but leadership will support challenging projects.

Cons

Work/life balance is non-existent. Weekend, night, and morning work is on par for the course. 50+ hour weeks are the norm, but it's typically more. There's occasional slowdowns in workloads, but they're few and far between. Covid has accelerated the work-life imbalance - while it was somewhat tenable before Covid, the past year has led many to burnout. Assuming a 40-45 hour week, the pay is in-line with the industry - but when considering per-hour pay, the numbers look less cheerful. Unlimited PTO is a nice perk and team members respect this, however actually taking time off is difficult since you're still responsible for getting your work completed. Expect to work on days off. Pay between practices for the same title varies significantly. If you're not on the SME track (and sometimes even if you are), you are responsible for sales beginning at the Consultant level.

Cons

In the 2 times I have worked for BTS I have been misled on the environment/situation I would be working in. Which has led to serious issues. The first time, I was recruited I moved my family across the country for a position that had 16 turnovers over a 2 year period due to the toxic government leadership. I was not given any heads up and was put in a seriously challenging position for both my career and financial wellbeing. The second time I took a job with BTS, I was told the contract had just been awarded for 5 years. However, once I arrived, again having moved my family across the country, I found out the contract was on a 6 month extension. There are other issues on the administrative side, and all I will recommend is to document everything. You WILL need the proof sometime down the road. All in all, I would say at times BTS was good, but mostly they operate in the morally gray to keep that top line up. Was fired over voicemail, for not working overtime (just working a standard 40 hour work week at night!) while I was recovering from the flu. No notice, no conversation, just canned. If management had taken a moment to speak with me, I could have provided email proof I had approval to take a slight step back while I and my family all recovered from the flu.
