Pros

Opportunity to work on products and projects focused on improving people's lives. Development of technical competence through extensive training, including process and product validation, six-sigma and lean. Knowledgeable staff that can support your projects, if you know where to look (extremely important to build personal network).

Cons

Lack of management training, even if individual does not have any people management experience. Dictatorship style of management, generating results through intimidation and bullying. HR department more focused on punishing staff for failing to meet requirements, rather than understanding the root cause for mediocre organizational performance.

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.
