Well-established company in the biotech sector with a good culture.

Pros

The company culture is very good, and the work is very meaningful (improving healthcare). Preserves work-life balance over all. Employment is generally stable although several rounds of small-scale layoffs are present in recent years (2010-2014).

Cons

Perks are average and are not sufficiently attractive. Promotion is not easy to come by for experienced professionals (in functional areas). Compensation is probably not sufficiently competitive but understandable given the stability and comfort offered by a well-established big company like BD.

Very poor leadership on all levels. Especially poor RBM's.

Pros

"Job Description" was very exciting. Benefit package was OK.

Cons

No leadership. No strategy. No execution by Senior Leaders. Career warfare at its finest (however I doubt most BD leaders have read the book). Be very careful who you commit to as they will simply pass off all field / associate successes that you have as their own and throughout the leadership team you will be a ghost.
