Its the bad apples that spoil the bunch

Top level manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Many good people at low level of the company. Brand recognition. External ethical hot line. HSA option for health insurance.

Cons

Too many top executives don't have the knowledge they need to stewart the technologies they are managing. On top of this, many of these same managers are focused on their careers rather than the technologies and people that they are managing. Ironically these should be interrealted, but at BD they are not.

Pros

San Diego Location Nice Office Buildings

Cons

They are a burn and turn company! They care nothing about their employees. They outsource most of their operations to India including HR, IT and other employee critical functions. They claim to have a focus on "quality" but that is a big hypocritical statement, there is nothing quality about this company not even their products. Other than their pension plan their benefits suck, worst health benefits I have ever had. Again showing they really do not care about their employees. It's all about the profit.
