Vantaggi

If you are at a main company site (I believe mostly in Minnesota) or at a site they decide to keep, it appears to be a well run, well funded place with classes and conferences to help you stay current. If you are at an acquired company, they will tell you how valued you are. You may get continued employment for some time, and they provide some outplacement support and severance when they lay you off.

Svantaggi

Hunter-gatherer, with companies and products as prey. If you are at a company that is acquired and don't want to move to Minnesota (extremes of -40°F and 110°F humid), start looking for work. They come in friendly, learn about your products, then transfer the profitable ones to Minnesota or offshore, kill any that don't have high enough ROI, and lay everyone off with various amounts of warning. Not sure whether you will get to design anything new. If there is any next-generation product development or work to keep them updated, I am not aware of it.

Vantaggi

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Svantaggi

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
