Pros

Okay benefits with unlimited vacation.

Cons

The video team lacks general focus and direction. BDG recently shifted away from editorial video to branded and it was not a smooth transition. Department leaders have no production or branded experience and there is no creative vision to create quality branded work. Clients are increasingly frustrated and morale is at an all time low. This isn't surprising as the team sits under the Business Development department instead of Branded Content. There just isn't the experience or understanding of how branded video works. There is a complete lack of mentorship and you will not grow your talents at this company.
