Pros

Good location if you live near BART or Pleasanton. A good learning experience as far as what to avoid in terms of your career. You can read fake five star reviews on Glassdoor!

Cons

On the technology side, lots of things were broken. No one wanted to fix these things, well I should say no one in management cared about fixing these things. On call? You are working for free 24/7 because something is going to break at 3 AM during the week or all weekend. Endless backstabbing and reorgs. Bad managers firing/replacing other bad managers with new bad managers. An unwillingness to accept that doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results=insanity.

We appreciate your review. Management and leadership is very keen on fixing anything that is "broken" that doesn't support partners, company goals and company employees. If you have some specific ideas - my email is always open and I can get the ideas to the right person - teri.llach@bhnetwork.com. Thanks again and let us know.

Pros

Good management, bonus opportunities, training

Cons

The pay is low. Staffing isn’t enough to meet workload, no performance based raises for entry level employees, and very few promotions available
