Pros

Having over 30yrs under my belt in Field Service divided among 4 companies after reading the Field Service reviews for BD here I felt I had to set the record straight. It is a big company and actively acquiring new product lines all the time. We are dominate in the product line I service and have a mature well structured system in both equipment and business model. Plenty of OT if you want and a good cluster of FST's around you is essential to maintain work life balance. Base Salary is a little low but the OT brings total up nicely. OT is not that big a burden because BD still bases it on a 8 hour day and not a 40hr week so anything that happens outside 8-5 is OT.

Cons

Lots of management layers and not a lot of focused communication on the intricacies the enterprise system that your product contributes to.

Pros

Good projects to work on, very busy, made good friends

Cons

Top Management is poor, some promoted to management don't have the skills and were promoted without merit and without allowing others to contest for the job. The new building remodeling looks nice but created a caotic environment can hardly concentrate on work as looks like everybody is yelling across the corridor. There was initially a pension now it is off the table?
