Pros

-Subsidized breakfast meals so you can save money - instrumentation - you can learn about their instruments and apply what you study in school

Cons

- HOSTILE work environment, Chinese lady in Formulations yell at new hires who have been trained only for a few days, totally unacceptable in ANY workplace (she complains about new hires who barely just started and who just learned how to fill out forms that they are slow while having the knowledge that they are still in training) - coworkers reprimands harshly when it’s your first time learning new things, like in some toxic cultural place, they literally will throw insults and not constructive criticisms and pass judgments and tell on other coworkers about it -jokes in the job a lot (not professional) - for academic professionals, better work elsewhere, people like to keep it equal for their trade or skilled workers and again not welcome graduates

Absolutely horrible work environment

Pros

None! There was absolutely nothing positive about my time at BD.

Cons

Where to start??? My review is for the Cleveland Ohio location but based on BDs dismal response to events I imagine the entire company is horrible. Cleveland location is run by a handful of incompetent people who have godlike complexes. Bossy, pushy and lazy as f best describes their attitude towards fellow employees. You’re job is at their whim and they will dictate everything you do down to when and where you can use the bathroom. Don’t worry though there’s not enough staff to get things done so expect to have a college degree and be sweeping floors or unloading trucks even though that’s not what you were hired for. Like I said they’re just so lazy. Want to experience work place violence and have BD DO NOTHING???? This is the place for you. Employee threatened other employees with violence even charging and chasing after another employee. What does the management do??? Nothing. “Making the numbers “ as the plant manager says is more important than having a hostile environment. Got plans on Saturday???? Not anymore. Mandatory overtime often told to you on Friday afternoon. They don’t care. The numbers are more important. Don’t waste your time here. Much better places to work.

Pros

Has its own factory building and build every component from syringes and catheter

Cons

Incapable management waiting for retirement day. Many wrong people for the job without good leadership. Boring and cheapskate canteen food. APAC senior mgt treated themselves as privilege group while the rest are nothing but workers. Many redundant layers of management and bureaucracy. Lack of career opportunity. HR is redundant. Outdated mindset.
