Pros

Great technologies, decent perks. Nice future Product pipeline. Global leader in many spheres with a great CEO. Still in growth phase.

Cons

Runs on whims and fancies of very few sitting in the HO. No respect for personal life. No clear discussions on career plans. Perceptions rather than processes defines careers. Highly skewed job loads- performers get dumped the maximum work without tangible appreciation, nay sayers NOT wanted. If you know yes sir, this is the place. Too many flip flops. No customer focus. Handful of minions run the management perception. Completely impractical strategies with no concern for people. Top speaks a lot about people development and then kills behind the closed doors. Diplomatic to the core. Many free riders. Rather than appreciating 99% positive work, always crib for their own flip flops. Absolute mess! Absolute ZERO HR function. Marketing team doesnt even know products well.

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.
