Pros

You'll work hard, but the payoffs are many. The company is growing really fast, all employees are shareholders, leaders do a good job of communicating our roadmap, and there are a lot of opportunities for advancement. The benefits are great and management allows flexibility (work from home, extended time off) when business needs allow for it. More than anything though, I'm here for the team. Those around me genuinely care about each other and their work product. They are smart, driven, and want to do an excellent job not just to benefit themselves and the company, but to lift up our clients and their own team members.

Cons

The company is driving hard and moving fast towards big goals. While this can be exciting and offer rewarding challenges, sometimes it can be stressful and chaotic.

Pros

There is a lot of new leadership breathing newness into the company. There is a rebrand on the horizon, different focuses and positioning, complimentary portfolio products, brilliant staff, new company values and more.

Cons

There has been a ton of change and while the new leadership is great, they are still getting their touch on things. This isn't all so much a con in general as it is to absorb, communicate, explain and soak in.

Pros

- BC hires great people - Is finally focusing on the product and its ideal customer rather than trying to be a product that it isn't. - Supportive culture - Good work life balance - Senior and Director leadership is caring and supportive - Really positive outlook for the product

Cons

- Has cut 10% of staff every year for the last 3 years and last year they cut most of their top performers that brought in the most revenue - No 401k match (although they may now) - Lower pay than most tech companies for the same roles - Either BC has the right people in place or they have the right direction to work in with the right leadership but never both - If you are remote, you aren't invited to the office much even for kick offs or planning. So you will feel a bit secluded. - Not much room for career growth as they keep cutting people
