Bad experience!

Pros

The location is ideal, the cafeteria is nice, and most the coworkers are very friendly. However, these pros are far outweighed by the cons.

Cons

Horrible management, no direction, antiquated systems, hostile work environment, run like a sweat shop, only care about money not employees, no work life balance

Pros

Big corporate, diversified product portfolio, business process, smart and intelligent management

Cons

so slow, orthodox, hierarchical, bureaucratic, and surprisingly legacy BD people love this kind of culture. People in BD like travelling, lots of meetings with lots of people, no decision, no work, no action, no follow up, just talk and talk, drag and drag.

Pros

Vacation, benefits are quite good

Cons

Everything related to working at the San Jose site. Most people are here because someone more incompetent was too insecure to hire someone smarter than them. There is particular marketing manager who just flies business class and talks about what other people do, and claims as own...they have now decided its time to say goodbye to the most recent site leader...who was not much of one as she only interacted with those who reported to her...no loss!
