Avoid this company - Senior Software Engineer Blackhawk Network Employee Review

- BHN promised to create a "center of excellence" at our location (where we created an innovative eGift Card product that was the core of our company), but instead of doing that they -- put in a hiring freeze -- cut pay 20% during the first pandemic wave, even though eGift Card sales were way up -- cancelled merit based pay raises -- essentially stopped giving raises altogether -- forced arbitrary and destructive technology changes on us (G Suite -> Microsoft, Jira -> Rally, etc) -- meddled in how our teams operated with micro-managing mid-level executives -- and finally, laid off 20 people So much for creating a "center of excellence"
