      Pros

      Salary was commensurate with title and relative to region. Shor term incentives and bonus rewards for level are below regional norm but adequate in regards to internal positions.

      Cons

      Where to start? Lack of knowledge from upper management skills, understanding of division role, and overall business segment objective. Decisions based perception versus facts and performance. Key leaders lacking intellectual background of science making rash decisions based on temporary employees and underperformers. Consistantly striving to catch up with competitors products and innovations. Always in the me too category instead of leading innovation. Lacks technology and platform to develop within and relies on outside developers.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Purpose driven company with strong values. Company has become much more innovative and comfortable with risk last few years. It is making major investments in new markets and technologies. Global growth presents good opportunities for people who work there and like the rapid pace environment.

      Cons

      Sometimes it feels like there is to much to do for the resources we have. The good news is that we really like what we do but we can feel stretched.

      BD was a great place to learn and contribute within a high-volume manufacturing environment.

      Pros

      Great place to learn about manufacturing within a regulated industry. BD is large enough to gain experience across a wide variety of disciplines.

      Cons

      Management is partial to the existing community preferences i.e. religious affiliation. Additionally, promotions are few and far between (six years within a group and not one promotion for anyone for about 15 people). Very conservative culture leading to a risk-averse attitude while expecting sky-high results.
