Progressive workplace with strong leadership and high workload expectations - Senior Developer Bursting Silver Employee Review

Pros

Management demonstrates genuine concern for employee well-being. The annual corporate retreat provides valuable in-person interaction and strengthens connections across a fully remote workforce. The company feels forward-thinking and open to new ideas, such as exploring four-day work weeks and integrating AI into processes.

Cons

Workload expectations can at times be excessive, leading to a sense of being overworked. High billable hour requirements (around 80%) place significant pressure on staff and can feel restrictive. Limited support when transitioning between business units, with insufficient time to become familiar with new clients’ ecosystems before being assigned to projects. Disjointed internal systems, with multiple ticketing and timekeeping platforms that can be overwhelming. Feast or famine cycles are not always well managed; more structured opportunities for skills development during quieter periods would be valuable.

Pros

Strong culture with a really great team; fully remote and flexible; opportunities to create a path based on your skills and interests.

Cons

The nature of consulting work means that people are often either swamped or having to seek out work to do.

Thank you for the positive review! We are very proud of our culture and very aware that we need to ensure our people’s schedules and capacity is balanced with the needs of our clients. We’ve introduced processes and policies around scheduling (such as weekly scheduling calls, forecasting systems, planned over-capacity / hiring) so that we can be more proactive to ensure that our people are not over-worked while enabling us to exceed our clients’ expectations.

Pros

BSI (Bursting Silver) really does let you put family first. There is very supportive management that listens to your ideas and personal and professional needs. Each team member has a voice in decisions. BSI was remote before remote was the new norm and has the leaders to make it work. Leaders are very open in sharing company status and when COVID hit in 2020, we were kept updated on company projects and changes. Working at BSI was a wonderful experience.

Cons

Onboarding was a little bumpy and currently is being reviewed, but I was able to ask for help when I had a a question. Although there is a generous three week vacation and Christmas week time off, and you can take off when sick, there is not an official sick day policy that is rolled over.
