Pros

Open, fast-paced and dynamic company that fosters collaboration and creative problem solving to drive quality work and success BSI expects you to be • a self-motivated go getter who knows best how to complete your work. • able to seek advice and gather support to be able to make decisions. • both trustworthy and trusting. • proactive and adaptive to change. • autonomous but accountable. Staff work from anywhere they are most productive – leveraging technology to the fullest. Fun and friendly people create a team environment even when everyone works remotely, and project teams are spread out across North America. Offices with hot desks in Toronto and Calgary with coffee, snacks, beer fridge, darts, and foosball. Many social events to encourage community among team members – remotely and in person. Balanced hiring practices: • fairly even split female/male • ethnically diverse • ages range from 20s to 70s BSI encourages an “open-door” policy: where anyone is able to talk to anyone. Co-workers are incredibly supportive and willing to offer guidance and help…There was always someone available to answer questions. Management genuinely cares and makes an effort to keep staff informed about what is going on in the company. They are approachable and actively participate in social activities both in person and online. BENEFITS • Medical and dental benefits • 3 weeks vacation plus time off between Christmas and New Year and summer Fridays • Professional development opportunities • Bonus based on performance review paid 3x per year • Corporate retreat

Cons

• Some teething pains during a period of rapid growth and as they expand their services. • Key team members left the organization. • Workload is not evenly balanced, so some roles/people end up with a lot more responsibilities and find it difficult to maintain work-life balance.

Pros

Strong culture with a really great team; fully remote and flexible; opportunities to create a path based on your skills and interests.

Cons

The nature of consulting work means that people are often either swamped or having to seek out work to do.

Thank you for the positive review! We are very proud of our culture and very aware that we need to ensure our people’s schedules and capacity is balanced with the needs of our clients. We’ve introduced processes and policies around scheduling (such as weekly scheduling calls, forecasting systems, planned over-capacity / hiring) so that we can be more proactive to ensure that our people are not over-worked while enabling us to exceed our clients’ expectations.

Pros

BSI (Bursting Silver) really does let you put family first. There is very supportive management that listens to your ideas and personal and professional needs. Each team member has a voice in decisions. BSI was remote before remote was the new norm and has the leaders to make it work. Leaders are very open in sharing company status and when COVID hit in 2020, we were kept updated on company projects and changes. Working at BSI was a wonderful experience.

Cons

Onboarding was a little bumpy and currently is being reviewed, but I was able to ask for help when I had a a question. Although there is a generous three week vacation and Christmas week time off, and you can take off when sick, there is not an official sick day policy that is rolled over.
