Pros

Looks good on resume as company has good reputation based on Franklin Lakes, NJ headquarters. Some good associates using as learning ground and seeking new positions elsewhere after 1 - 2 years.

Cons

Toxic culture. Many associates not qualified to perform their responsibilities. Management doesn't have a clear direction and doesn't communicate to Managers. Associates tend to have spent whole careers at BDDS and are not willing to learn or to incorporate best practices from other companies. Associates resistant to any type of change initiative and actively work to undermine change initiatives. Management supports long tern employees rather than new hires with new ideas. Associate bad behavior often rewarded b/c it's easier than addressing the issue.

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.
