Pros

It offers a great place to learn the intricaces and complexities of business for a Fortune 500 company. The company has high ethical standards and nearly all the people I interacted with were of high moral character.

Cons

There is a great emphasis on continuous learning including coaching employees, change management, developing leaders, effective communication, etc. However, its management rarely follows its own training. It has often been described as a good, solid, slow moving company. Although it wants to be an innovative company, it has made a lot of poor decisions over the past decade and is desperately trying to right the ship without actually admitting its mistakes.

Pros

There really aren't any. Incredibly toxic culture all the way down. BD used to be a great and supportive place to work but that is no more.

Cons

Very toxic culture. Management all the way down is either abusive or or flat out incompetent. We are told to essentially ignore our own code of conduct policies and ethics to the point where all qualified and competent performers have been run off by tyrant middle managers who can essentially do whatever they want or being saddled with the work of 3 people. You will not be valued here. The morale is at bottom and everyone is looking to leave the sinking ship.
