Do not work here - it is unsafe

Recommend

Pros

A few of my coworkers were lovely and supportive.

Cons

Within a month of working there, I was sexually assaulted by a coworker. Reporting was a nightmare and even with evidence (written statement, call report from a sexual assault hotline, texts, and a video of him approaching me in the office after the incident and telling me that he'll have to come out and visit me and put me on a couple of his projects) they found that it was 'he said, she said.' The original findings paperwork for me to sign had errors- including giving me the coworker's last name. I was also told I could not tell other co-workers what happened but if asked about the accused to tell others that he's "not my cup of tea." Unsatisfied with the result and feeling unsafe at work, I turned in my letter of resignation. The CEO immediately called me and inappropriately asked me to "put [myself] in [the accused]'s shoes." When I refused he asked me how it would feel if my boyfriend or father was accused. He asked me to consider the accused's family. The (recorded) phone call went on for nearly 15 minutes and he ended with saying that if I was his daughter, he'd tell me not to ruin my career over this.

Lousy work environment

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

There are none, other than getting a paycheck and free cup of coffee in the morning

Cons

Lousy inexperienced project managers who play favorites with certain employees and management really doesn't care about employees, as another person said they are a small fish in a big pond and they don't get quality contracts. Most people who work here are either from another country and trying to get a green card or they would have trouble finding a real job. CIO is a jerk and knows nothing about technology or how to manage people, only cares about furthering his own career on the backs of migrant workers.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. A competitive paycheck, great people and especially good coffee are key to BEM’s culture. BEM takes all three serious especially our coffee; just ask our CFO who lets out a torturous moan when he gets the coffee invoice each month. A sign we might have a problem. On a more serious and factual note which this write up deserves, The BEM Team is a balanced one. We pride ourselves on hiring talented people based upon their experience and initiative and find that diversity makes us better and adds to our corporate resume and skill set. Our Program Managers, all who have been with BEM over 10 years, work hard to promote inclusion and opportunity across the board and as HR I am always available to those who might feel they are not part of the Team in any way. Being a small fish in a big pond might seem daunting at times but the BEM Team accepts the challenge at each opportunity. We take great pride when we win contracts and stand tall next to the competition. The Team at BEM has been part of winning proposals across all sectors with an impressive client list which can be seen on our website at www.bemsys.com.

Pros

Free coffee and mediocre salary

Cons

Upper management does not trust or respect employees. A lot of unofficial “managers” causes communication and work flow issues. There is no clear career path or ladder. This causes a toxic environment and employee morale has gone drastically down as a result. Lack of respect for employees’ personal life/personal time. There are no official company hours so half of the employees are in and out as they please while the other half attempt to keep to project schedules, meetings and deadlines intact.
