Pros

Nice building Decent cafeteria but with very slow service Great, friendly people (excluding senior management)

Cons

Sales: Do you enjoy working with narcissistic sycophants? Do you like having no say AT ALL in how you work? Do you like being micromanaged? Do you enjoy having to tell your boss EVERY. SINGLE. THING, ALL. THE. TIME? Do you enjoy having no autonomy in your role? Do you think that senior management should call members of your team liars, causing them to be so demotivated/anxious that they leave? Do you enjoy working with senior managers who believe it’s acceptable to threaten to sack your whole team (for something relatively minor)? Do you like working with senior managers who have read a management book from the 20’s but thinks it’s too progressive? How about working with managers who know the term “situational leadership” and bandy it around regularly, but laughably don’t demonstrate it in ANY way? What about working with managers whose only management style could be classed as Victorian School Mistress (looking after 3 year olds) and who shouldn’t be let anywhere near humans beings? It’s possible that they might actually be poorly programmed robots... maybe using technology from a backward, people-hating planet in a distant universe? Do you enjoy being stabbed in the back by senior managers because THAT’S the actual culture rather than what you might be force fed in terms of the company values? If you can say yes to these questions then BSI is definitely the place for you!
