Pros

The company has a great mission and the impact of the work is clear.

Cons

Internally, several executive leaders are dictatorial. I have witnessed several cases of leaders pushing their weight to slience or defame colleagues. Addtionally, some managers take on this approach as well. Your experience with the company depends on the grace/aptitude of your manager. If you happen to run across a poor manager that will be your experience and vs versa. There are little career advancement opportunities. The benefits are subpar.

Pros

BG enjoys hiring from within, meaning that once you are employed in any role, it is much easier for you to advance.

Cons

Hierarchical setup makes lots of people middle managers so there are fewer people eligible for unionizing (and more people actively against unionizing). Poor pay for roles considering where they are located. Discourages employees from asking for accommodations. Incompetent management is so far removed from participant-facing staff that many ill-informed decisions are made. Very hard to get hired unless you already know someone there who can vouch for you. COLA is tied to yearly performance review, which is often biased against marginalized staff.
