Pros

Company mission, work feels important, free lunch and snacks are provided, monthly All-Hands meetings, and frequency of 1:1's with supervisors.

Cons

There is no room for upward mobility, because in BSM they will hire externally for a higher pay and title. Veteran workers who are being asked to train the newcomers are getting paid significantly less, and have a hard time being promoted. The excuse is that "only 1-2 operators can be promoted per pay cycle", which is nonsense. They are bringing in full-time hires from companies like Natera starting at $30+/hr, when in-house operators are struggling at $25/hr.
