Pros

Talented employees, tons of projects to get immersed in, great benefits, a feeling that most employees really do care about patients and want to help them by making the best products possible.

Cons

An inability of the company to get its ducks in a row. There are always issues that continue to hamper progress that seem to stem from poor management coupled with the loss of employees/turnover in key areas due to the RIFs and "leaning down." There is also no career planning in place at this company, and promotions are solely based on the length of time with the business rather than performance/initiative/achievement.

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.
