Pros

Blackhawk has some very talented people working for it and the company tries to take care of employees with a lot of extras, such as company-wide days off, unlimited PTO for US employees, and remote work. Managers tend to be good people to work with.

Cons

The company is made up of a series of acquisitions, which means no systems really talk to each other. Most systems at the company use silo-ed data and rely on heavily manual processes. There's no real incentive for product or technology to fix it because they're focused on developing projects to make the next big sale. Often times, what you think is a standard report with good numbers is actually just a manual spreadsheet maintained by a staff level employee and mailed out once a month. Blackhawk wants to be a technology / product company, but it actually operates like a CPG company.

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
