Pros

Good entry level company to work for. They provide good training for employees and their positions. You never get rich working for B&D, but many other companies hire their employees

Cons

Lots of turnover of employees, many of their management have big ego's and company has lost focus Products they sell are not the best in class , but more of a "chevrolet". They are not in tune in what is going on in their market place are simply losing market share. Also they are unwilling to "listen" to their customer base.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
