Pros

-Team on a mission. -Employees care about our clients and fight for their needs. Sometimes, we get a bit tense with each other in defense of a client. -Amazing Product, Engineering and Support teams. -Culture is strong; You will love coming to work. -3 great office locations: Austin, SF and Sydney -Executive team aligned, mature and get along with each other. This is the most important point. I've been at startups with immature and sniping management team. It's very demotivational.

Cons

-Employees care about our clients and fight for their needs. Sometimes, we get a bit tense with each other in defense of a client. - Tough competitive landscape often causes rapid shifts in direction.

Pros

There is a lot of new leadership breathing newness into the company. There is a rebrand on the horizon, different focuses and positioning, complimentary portfolio products, brilliant staff, new company values and more.

Cons

There has been a ton of change and while the new leadership is great, they are still getting their touch on things. This isn't all so much a con in general as it is to absorb, communicate, explain and soak in.

Pros

- BC hires great people - Is finally focusing on the product and its ideal customer rather than trying to be a product that it isn't. - Supportive culture - Good work life balance - Senior and Director leadership is caring and supportive - Really positive outlook for the product

Cons

- Has cut 10% of staff every year for the last 3 years and last year they cut most of their top performers that brought in the most revenue - No 401k match (although they may now) - Lower pay than most tech companies for the same roles - Either BC has the right people in place or they have the right direction to work in with the right leadership but never both - If you are remote, you aren't invited to the office much even for kick offs or planning. So you will feel a bit secluded. - Not much room for career growth as they keep cutting people
