      Poor management

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Benefits (Pension, Stocks, Christmas bonus) - Good social culture (Christmas parties, drive in movie nights) - Great looking office with a lovely canteen and showers on site

      Cons

      - Bad case of micromanagement and favoritism - Poor career development as they don't give out promotions or pay rises. No real reward for hard work which leads to a high attrition rate - Toxic management who bully employees at times - Alot of redundancy's every year. Seems like they cant promise roles to employees at any point in the year

      Senior leadership is awful

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, including medical, dental, and PTO. Flexible work schedule, depending on manager.

      Cons

      Senior leadership has been horrible the past few years. Poor choices during Covid have left some of the business segments in bad financial shape. Now the company lays people off every quarter to try and fix the financial situation. The company preaches work life balance, and says they care about mental health, but then they overwork their employees and continue to cut jobs, which has an even greater impact on the remaining associates.

      Mixed feelings

      Staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BD MDS has historically been a great place to work. The people in the weeds doing the work are generally helpful and friendly. Typically, there are a good amount of resources available to push the work forward (2023 is an exception). Growth opportunities are available for those that are motivated.

      Cons

      Recently, the natural cycle of of things has bubbled some less favorable leadership to the top (thus the 3 stars). Crossing my fingers that the incompetent ones will be weeded out and a self-correction will come soon. But it may come at the cost of losing some of our best people before that correction comes. After COVID, BD culture is struggling to find its identity with hybrid work.
