Pros

Looks good on resume as company has good reputation based on Franklin Lakes, NJ headquarters. Some good associates using as learning ground and seeking new positions elsewhere after 1 - 2 years.

Cons

Toxic culture. Many associates not qualified to perform their responsibilities. Management doesn't have a clear direction and doesn't communicate to Managers. Associates tend to have spent whole careers at BDDS and are not willing to learn or to incorporate best practices from other companies. Associates resistant to any type of change initiative and actively work to undermine change initiatives. Management supports long tern employees rather than new hires with new ideas. Associate bad behavior often rewarded b/c it's easier than addressing the issue.
