Good but not great.

Pros

Being a global firm, I was able to gain experience working on a number of different proposals in a variety of sectors from around the world. There are also some really great individuals who work at the firm. Paid overtime.

Cons

This firm is NOT family friendly, especially for working mothers. It is an "old boys club" and that is evidenced by their management team. The hours can be long and deadlines can be back-to-back-to-back without a break. Principals do not hesitate to take on more proposals than is possible to complete in a thoughtful manner. They do not understand that spending more meaningful time on a smaller number of client-focused, customized proposals is better than submitting more proposals filled with boilerplate, cut and paste text. Their architecture is mediocre and difficult to promote.

Pros

Paid overtime, although I'm not entirely sure I would consider that a pro because the amount of overtime they make you work will destroy your health and sense of personhood.

Cons

This was the most militaristic, soulless, old boys club, heartless place I have ever worked. Never once did I feel like I was respected at this company or treated like a human being. The principals of this company have a diluted sense of superiority and treat underlings like something that got stuck to the bottom of their shoe (although to be fair, a small handful were nice). There was no respect for your team or specialized skill set. You were just a janitor there to clean up messes and a gopher to do their bidding - no matter what time of day, weekend, holiday weekend - it didn't matter. My department - marketing - was managed so poorly, with zero strategy or strong leadership. My portfolio suffered so much while I worked here because I produced no work of creative value. A lot of the time I felt like I was a personal assistant. While I worked at B+H, my health suffered greatly because I was under such constant stress and made to feel like I was worthless. I, along with my teammates, were regularly berated publicly by senior principals, yelled at, sworn at, and humiliated. All of course which would never be addressed by management... because the people who were publicly shaming you owned the company. Now that I am working at a job that I absolutely love, I sometimes still feel like I am recovering from the way I was made to feel at B+H. Please, I beg you, do not work here.
