      Talented teams deserving of better leadership

      Pros

      Good company to work for pre-COVID. Smart colleagues and bosses, especially on the technical teams.

      Cons

      After the post-COVID leadership transition, communication became less transparent, and some decisions weren't aligned with the company's values. This felt more like political maneuvering than a talent retention strategy for loyal employees.

      Need better accountability

      Pros

      Great minds and kind, professional people work at BR. Company culture, in general, is good. Beautiful campus, and great employee events.

      Cons

      There's lack of accountability on many levels. Lack of processes, policies, and knowledge lost to layoffs, and talent walking out the door for better opportunities. Top heavy organization, with many leaders and not enough staff to do the work. Leadership seems to be only focusing on numbers but not the people who make the business successful. Promotions are seldom. Many leaders lack leadership skills. Senior management often seem oblivious of real issues and needs. No longer a family friendly environment.
