Pros

Medical device company with lots of research and development for continuous improvement.

Cons

BD Medical harvested weeds (Bad HR and Bad Management) might destroy BD reputation someday. Don't ever disagree with the Manager.

Pros

Great industry and commitment to helping others. Most functions, outside of HR, generally well-run. Beautiful office campus.

Cons

Highly political and biased decision making in internal promotional/selection and rewards - relatively high HR turnover in the U.S. HR senior management has little to no interest in HR being an employee advocate as they are highly focused on being "strategic" only. Little to no value for lower level employees (entry level staff, hourly/support) long terms employees - very prone to thinking who's new/young will be better. They tout diversity - but the interpretation is very narrow and applies to being diverse in race only and results in overall narrow-minded thinking.

Pros

Loved the position and the sale; made great connections.

Cons

Company does not support the reps. The do not pay commissions on time and they have cheated me out of a lot of my commission by choosing to change the payout a week before payday!
