Pros

The folks in the R&D communities are sharp and know their disciplines. Folks are serious about personal responsibility (refreshing). I am impressed with management's ability to refocus the business, unafraid (seemingly) to make necessary and meaningful changes to short, mid, and longer term plans. Quality System is pervasive--as it needs to be--and has matured positively.

Cons

If you wish to be in the BSC club, be prepared to make your life all about BSC. Yes, they work hard to find balance, but you're expected to be all-in. Once moving away from R&D, leadership wanes and management appears lost at times (if it appears at all!).

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.
