Pros

Great pay, benefits, and retirement.. company definitely likes to take care of you if you are a Senior Manager or higher level. Many people stay for literally a decade or more. Rarely do you see anyone get fired, which is a con in the sense that there are some LAZY people in the corporate office.

Cons

Antiquated infrastructure, company is not very well run... many complain about having to "call India" for any type of assistance. Definitely an "old boys network" in place that does not respond very well to innovative ideas or new schools of thought especially in their Endo division.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
