Pros

Some awesome lower level staff , beautiful product…that is all! Greatly overpowered by the reality of how disgusting this place is to work fir.

Cons

Incompetent middle management; who are more focused on telling people how important they are than helping their team out. Inexperienced HR team who will turn on you with blatant lies if you raise any concern because they appear to have no legislative knowledge or experience and an Upper Management who will turn a blind eye to the reality of what is actually happening on their watch, whilst still telling anyone who will listen how great a workplace it is. They advertise that they won ‘best employer’ after forcing all their staff to vote for them (I know; I was one of them!); but in reality the only thing they care about is external image and profit. Expect to work very long hours in order to get your job done - late nights; weekends; called on your holidays- for no extra remuneration. They love to quote “time in lieu’ with no follow through.

Thanks for your review. I am sorry that you did not have a good experience at BWX and some of your allegations are very concerning. If you are comfortable, I would welcome you to contact me to provide some more detail so I can address. I can speak to 'forcing' employees to vote/complete surveys - this is certainly not the case, in fact the survey you are referring to was handled by an external company and BWX has no way of knowing who completed it. In terms of your other allegations, these certainly don't refelct the type of workplace we strive for so I would truly welcome an opportunity to get some more details from you.

Pros

Great CEO who cares about employees and has put in place a lot of positive change, engaged Leadership Team, culture improving, HR team are doing a great job to ensure plenty of learning opportunities exist. All team members are friendly and welcoming.

Cons

Longer hours of work at times, but that is okay for me given all the opportunities that exist and that I love what I do and who I work with. Some challenges between AUS and USA as other reviews have stated, however structure is relatively new so I'm sure with time these will be ironed out. If you are a person who does not like change - our company is fast moving, must be prepared to be agile!

Thank you for the positive review. Completely agree, BWX moves quickly and agility is a key requirement! We have added some customized meeting and email training to our online learning platform in an attempt to create some efficiencies. We've also blocked calendars for all employees globally for half a day a week to allow for some planning and deep work time...the challenge of course is to make sure you stay committed to keeping this time free!
