      BD Biosciences: A place of inconsistencies.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall, the company has great products and there are some very dedicated people that work here. However, there are a lot of people that pretty much do the minimum to get by, and there is a large contingent of employees that yearn for "the old days." They need to grow up and realize that the world has changed and all the whining in the world won't bring it back.

      Cons

      Too inflexible with customers and there is a pervasive superiority complex among many of the staff. The BD way is not the only way and they need to put a little creativity back into their work.

      Good place to work, good people, resistant to change

      Pros

      Family feel, friendly co-workers who are willing to help. Pay is good Location is excellent - close to major highways and campus is very nice Makes products that are needed (needles, syringes, etc) Communication from senior leadership is good

      Cons

      Corporate budgets tend to be tight - frequent hiring freezes, travel restricctions BD is resistant to change - "this is the way we've always done it..." Benefits are good, but employee cost keeps rising significantly each year No stock options for lower level (Job Group 3) employees Policies not enforced, there's a lot of inconsistent job titles / salaries across various BD segments Segments / Units compete with each other (this can be good and bad)
