Pros

People seem nice, there are interest groups within the org to interact with fellow employees

Cons

Middle management and above appear nice and friendly but don’t seem to want to address what’s wrong, oftentimes it just seems like senior management want to play good cop instead of addressing issues head on - cost cutting reasons, that the company’s stock share is dropping and why, that head counts are being shifted to countries which are cheaper and letting people go quietly. Instead, every town hall seems to just be a way to proclaim how well the company is doing when there seem to be cracks within the org. Some middle managers could be “fat” within the org, and seem to be more concerned with saving their own jobs and finding any work to do to remain “useful” but are horrible supervisors and managers.

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.
