Pros

Everyone is passionate about their jobs & the impact they have to patients worldwide. Great company culture with family values & offers lots of flexibility. Large company with resources, ability to make parallel moves, appreciation for workers, etc.

Cons

Don't have much to say here. I overwhelmingly love BSC. The one thing I did have an issue with is getting coverage through the health insurance BSC offers for a medication that is not considered "generic". Had a great deal of difficulty, still couldn't get it reasonably covered in the long run. Only covers generic medications. Really unfortunate. Hoping improvements can be made in the future.

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.
