Pros

If you can invent it you can do it. Pockets of truly brilliant, good people doing interesting work. Can be a very creative place to work. Access to fabulous global clients. New CEO and rising leadership team offer promising future for the business and the work culture. Exceptional number of women in leadership. Queer positive environment.

Cons

Communication and feedback are rare. Partnership model creates a monoculture that makes innovation very hard. Partners have trouble listening and don’t like explaining decisions or owning failure. Few below partner level can own decisions. Strategic decisions can feel like they are what’s best for the partners not the company. A culture of managing up and kicking down and ignoring expertise. Diversity and inclusion are challenging despite prominence of women in leadership positions. Few POC. It’s a very insular culture.

Cons

In the 2 times I have worked for BTS I have been misled on the environment/situation I would be working in. Which has led to serious issues. The first time, I was recruited I moved my family across the country for a position that had 16 turnovers over a 2 year period due to the toxic government leadership. I was not given any heads up and was put in a seriously challenging position for both my career and financial wellbeing. The second time I took a job with BTS, I was told the contract had just been awarded for 5 years. However, once I arrived, again having moved my family across the country, I found out the contract was on a 6 month extension. There are other issues on the administrative side, and all I will recommend is to document everything. You WILL need the proof sometime down the road. All in all, I would say at times BTS was good, but mostly they operate in the morally gray to keep that top line up. Was fired over voicemail, for not working overtime (just working a standard 40 hour work week at night!) while I was recovering from the flu. No notice, no conversation, just canned. If management had taken a moment to speak with me, I could have provided email proof I had approval to take a slight step back while I and my family all recovered from the flu.
