Pros

- Tons of free swag - Happy hour on Fridays - Too many nerf guns - Colorful office atmosphere - SuperSmashBros tournaments - Many extraordinarily friendly people among the organization

Cons

- Learning and Development is discouraged, don't dare go above and beyond for a customer if it means doing anything you weren't specifically taught to do. - "Pass them a support document and end the call" support mentality. - Schedule managed/monitored by an automated system. No leniency for away/breaks and no excuse for tardiness on arrival. - Total focus on KPIs, somewhat unrealistic expectations given the low pay (45 sec max between calls to bump to $18/h) - Poor sales practices, overpromising/lying by omission - Very poor response time to critical escalations (payment processors- lost transactions, 2+ years without resolution). It was rare to feel that a customer was actually valued unless they were up in the 10s of millions of dollars in sales. - Promotions based on nepotism, not qualifications. Few and far between dependent on department. Actual feedback I received "The rest of the team feels they don't know you well enough, you might consider attending Saturday company events", I was scheduled 12p-9p Tues-Saturday.

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
