Vantaggi

-some really smart, fun and passionate co-workers -nice amenities if you're in your 20's - "chillax" room, yoga, pool table, ping pong, game room, kegs, swings -good health insurance coverage; fitness incentives -flexible work-from-home hours if you have the right manager -great original core team and vision -originally felt like I was working for a company that truly did good

Svantaggi

-many of the smart, fun and passionate co-workers have left -if you're not in your 20's and this isn't your 1st/2nd job, the amenities don't outweigh the hours or commute -long hours if you don't set limits for yourself; if you do only work 40-50 hours you feel overwhelmed with not being able to get everything done in time -get the details and read the fine lines of your vacation and bonus agreement payouts -location/commute to 360 - completely removed from Austin and no local connection outside of the office wall murals -Australian headquarters makes decision making processes lengthy and over-complicated -moving from a small management team to a multilayer was not employee focused and completely changed the culture The idea and drive behind the company is really positive and enticing, but the executive changes made in the past year have taken their toll on the culture and environment. Bringing in experienced VPs from larger companies seems like a logical step when growing from a start-up to desired IPO, but there is a huge gap between what used to be the core Directors fully immersed in what their teams were experiencing day-to-day to a now large VP core making decisions based on stats and ideas that in no way relate to what is going on at ground level.

Vantaggi

There is a lot of new leadership breathing newness into the company. There is a rebrand on the horizon, different focuses and positioning, complimentary portfolio products, brilliant staff, new company values and more.

Svantaggi

There has been a ton of change and while the new leadership is great, they are still getting their touch on things. This isn't all so much a con in general as it is to absorb, communicate, explain and soak in.

Vantaggi

- BC hires great people - Is finally focusing on the product and its ideal customer rather than trying to be a product that it isn't. - Supportive culture - Good work life balance - Senior and Director leadership is caring and supportive - Really positive outlook for the product

Svantaggi

- Has cut 10% of staff every year for the last 3 years and last year they cut most of their top performers that brought in the most revenue - No 401k match (although they may now) - Lower pay than most tech companies for the same roles - Either BC has the right people in place or they have the right direction to work in with the right leadership but never both - If you are remote, you aren't invited to the office much even for kick offs or planning. So you will feel a bit secluded. - Not much room for career growth as they keep cutting people
