Pros
I tried to think of something positive to say about working here, but I couldn't think of a single thing.
Cons
I don't understand most of the reviews here. The atmosphere is not family-oriented. It is FAKE, FAKE, FAKE. It's all about fitting in with the culture and getting in good with the partners. If you aren't liked and play all the games, you're done. The salary isn't competitive, it's well below industry average. The thing that most of the reviews neglect to mention is that the greater Lansing area has virtually NO high tech jobs at all. People like working here because it beats unemployment. I've also heard the "BS&A is SO much better than big corporate America" argument, too. That is because no one else writes municipal software. As soon as a decent competitor enters the market, this company is in trouble. This place operates with sweat-shop mentality. They expect everything to be Nazi-perfect or they will fire you without warning. I personally saw this when I worked there. There is NO compassion, NO second chances, and NO help. These people DO NOT CARE who they use, hurt, or destroy. This company, like most of the state, is natives only. If you're not from Michigan, you won't understand the culture, will be thought weird because you're not from here, and will see how closed-minded and bigoted people from this area really are.
