Pros

Very helpful peers in the department Great office perks (snacks, pool tables, weekly company meeting with beer) They have a wonderful culture, if you aren't in the Client Success department

Cons

Client success department does not focus on call quality, but instead of call volume metrics (after call work, internal account notes, # of calls taken, etc.). If you work in the client success department (Technical Support) you will not have access to company meetings during your schedule shift - you will have to attend on your own dime. The company is going towards a MORE corporate structure, and the technical support department is feeling the pain of this especially.

As a leader in the Client Success organization I wanted to clarify a couple of points touched on in this review. The Client Success department does focus on quality, with an agent's main metrics by which they are held accountable being Customer Satisfaction and Resolution Rate. Also, we measure After Call Work (ACW) to make sure our customers are taken care of in a timely fashion, but do not measure agents on KPIs having to do with volume, nor hold anybody accountable to number of calls taken, handle times, or other similar metrics often used in the industry. Additionally, with regard to the culture, we do turn off our phone queues for every all-company meeting and ask/encourage our support reps to attend during their scheduled shift. We also invite our employees to participate in Ninja events after hours, such as game nights, charity events, etc and have an elected "Ninja Council" that meets weekly during their shift along with a representative of our HR team and myself. This group was established for the sole purpose of being able to raise any concerns to leadership and help solve issues constructively while protecting and improving our culture.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

- 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

Cons

- 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
