Pros
* Really nice location in our city. * Positive work atmosphere on the operational level. * Unlike European companies, hard work is rewarded. * Even though it's a global company, in everything you do, you feel it's still family-owned by people who live and breathe the business. * Many learning and advancement opportunities if you're willing to take them and prove yourself capable. Also, flexible hours. * While there definitely is "One BDP"; the company offers enough freedom for local offices and departments to do things their way as long as it fits within the wider BDP framework.
Cons
* Company is slow in committing to new hires, which in the current growth cycle means there's a near constant stateof understaffing. * Even though the company is still facing massive growth and positive figures on the local level; upper management still try to hide behind larger economical trends as an excuse to slow investments in their personnel (travel stops, stagnating wages, the previously mentioned understaffing, etc ...). * Antiquated and poorly maintained IT systems. There has been some small improvements but still a long way to go. * Also IT: When a new system becomes implemented, the testing phase should be much wider and more global. Some newly implemented changes might work well for American offices, but regularly break local customs. * Sharing of knowledge across offices, or even across departments in larger offices can still be improved.
