Pros

You get a paycheck a couple of times each month.

Cons

Work from home means work all the time. Coworkers expect you to be at their beckon call 24 x 7 x 365. Forget eating dinner with the family. Sleep with your phone more than your spouse. If you like working with people who will ignore processes and are too lazy to learn how to do things for themselves, this is the place for you. If you enjoy being told your 14+ hour days are not going to cut it, this job is for you. If you enjoy having directors and VP's that go home after they hand you 3-4 hours of work they need by tomorrow morning to send to the Senior VP (with their own names on it of course), this is the job for you. Analysis paralysis? Yes we have it. Currently 7 meetings a week to discuss how to be more productive. That is amazing. Perhaps 14 would double productivity? This is hands down the most horrible place to work. Here of some signs. Upper management does not understand basic job functions and processes that have been in place for 10+ years. When the underlings try to explain those processes, they are belittled for being so stupid as to believe that those processes are correct. Cultural survey's are sent to all employees that are anonymous but then at the deadline a list of names that have not taken the survey are circulated so managers can make sure those folks take them. Makes it hard for folks to tell the truth. This company continues to create ridiculous positions that do nothing but create more work for others. Any little issue that is lifted up must be communicated to multiple groups in the organization just in case they want to know and oh by the way most of them enjoy every evening and weekend off. Why? Because I'm always working!! Don't get me started on the customers. Why even have processes. No one follows processes and because of this every customer just whines and complains and does everything but call the right person. Then internally everyone complains that my team and others like it are not responsive. How the heck can we be if we are called hours, days, or weeks later?

Pros

There really aren't any. Incredibly toxic culture all the way down. BD used to be a great and supportive place to work but that is no more.

Cons

Very toxic culture. Management all the way down is either abusive or or flat out incompetent. We are told to essentially ignore our own code of conduct policies and ethics to the point where all qualified and competent performers have been run off by tyrant middle managers who can essentially do whatever they want or being saddled with the work of 3 people. You will not be valued here. The morale is at bottom and everyone is looking to leave the sinking ship.
