Pros

A lot of my colleagues are very competent. There's real valuable work to be done in BRS in product development. Less red tape involved in getting stuff done, although its increasing.

Cons

I've found that there's a lot of favoritism and ass kissing that goes on. I don't see that people are rewarded for hard work or accomplishments but if someone does something wrong its blown way out of proportion... at least at BRS from what I've seen in the product development group, politics is huge. People scheme against other people and in several cases I've experienced individuals who have been forced to quit because people in senior positions didn't like them for unacceptable reasons.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
