Pros

none since BHN was bought out by Silverlake and Partners

Cons

They changed vacation to "unrestricted" but really do not want you to use it. Inconsistency within groups about work/life balance, HR is assisting management to push employees out as jobs are being outsourced to Infosys. Company came up with initiative that was suppose to expand business process and efficiency while in reality it is cutting staff by pushing roles in major areas and establishing offshore. All while not telling the staff members who are being replaced so they pass along information to new teams. Sad sad place in 2019 There have been contractors that come in and leave within 30 days as they see true work environment. Be advised

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
