Pros

the overall employee benefits for BD were comparable to other companies. Also, access to certain learning/training tools and library were pretty limitless.

Cons

Very depreciating environment. I heard similar complaints from employees in several business units. Respect is based on title which is quite unfortunate. Often heard people yelling and cursing in the hall at other people, even getting physical. It was a ridiculous environment with a good amount of turnover. Def lacking in people skills and thrived on creating an environment of intimidation.

Pros

The teams that you work with have one vision. Unfortunately this is not shared by the upper management or "Leadership Team"

Cons

The Leadership Team is poorly led, inexperienced and overall incompetent. There are too many "old school" BD associates on this team that are not up to date with current ideas and practices
