Pros

Extremely knowledgeable SAP ERP and APO consultants who are being held back in maturing in their careers due to H1B obligations.

Cons

The management team prides themselves in fostering an environment of chaos, lies, bullying and contempt for fellow colleagues rather then that of collaboration and success. I was forced into signing a compensation plan that was absolutely unachievable and when I attempted to negotiate on certain KPIs I was told "either sign the KPIs or receive zero bonus". On several occasions I was screamed and cursed at over the phone by several colleagues during the process of deal negotiations. Twice I reported this incident to HR with no actions taken or feedback. The final straw for me was when I was threatened by another executive that if I did not commit to certain revenue figures that "there would be a mass layoff within my team".

Pros

I LOVE working here. Bristlecone truly focuses on the employee's experience. Bristlecone invests in its people and is transparent about how to succeed here (SCM / AI expertise, client service, continued focus on learning, etc.). If culture eats strategy, then Bristlecone is well-positioned for success.

Cons

Going through growth pains - but largely these are 'good problems' to have (e.g., hiring quickly to meet client demand while making sure there is a good cultural fit)
