Pros

Strong technology... Product is better than the competition and 1:1 discussions with customers will prove that. Diverse skill sets... People move from discipline to discipline more than other Fortune 500s I've worked at and they seem to hire people with broad backgrounds

Cons

Poor marketing... Reserved about clearly communicating product benefits more so than competitors even tho the data shows stronger product performance; struggles to focus resources on specific products or offerings and customer segments...spread thin trying to be all to all Recognition... Few promotions and pay increases... Not comfortable allowing people to love departments every two years as in many other marketing departments I've worked... Too many people get too comfortable in 'old ways'

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.
