Pros

Great people, work-life balance, lots of opportunities to chase after, lots of resources, diversity across multiple teams, many activities to participate in.

Cons

Working from home has been dissolved strongly and the narrative around the all time level of efficciency it brought has changed dramatically. Discussing the pros of this being the future of work have changed completely. The reality of coming back into the office is a pay cut to many having to drive in even when it is not required and wven when most teams one works with are across the world, taking calls virtually. Its not bad to come in, but it is unnecesary to do so for all functions. There is feedback being looked into through surveys, but it seems this topic is highly ignored and beign pushed from the bottom down. A lot of job postings seem like ghost postings at times to make it look like hiring is happening even internally for years.

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.
