Pros

Great company culture, great coworkers. Love working on products that make a true difference in people's lives. Pay is reasonable, but the pay is offset by the flexible work culture and great products.

Cons

Health insurance is a dumpster fire. The company is self insured and the claims are managed by a subsidiary of United Healthcare called UMR. Claims are denied for reasons like the TIN is not provided when the invoice lists the TIN and you provided the TIN in the submission. On top of that, you can't talk to UMR directly, you have to use another company called Quantum Health who appear to have no idea how UMR works. Claims can take months to settle. If you are single with no health issues, I highly recommend BSC. If you have a family or expect to use your health insurance think twice. Claims that were processed seamlessly by UnitedHealthCare at my previous job are now regularly rejected and take weeks of work. Same provide, same invoice, just UMR instead of UHC direct.

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.
