Used to be a great company to work for, but politics and cost-cutting now rule the day. - Individual Contributor (Non Scientific) BD Employee Review

Pros

Interesting and socially useful products, challenging work and the chance to contribute to human health, peers tend to be smart and supportive, nice environment, good benefits, flexible hours.

Cons

Growth opportunities for individual contributors are lacking, compensation is lagging compared with other companies in the region, work-life balance is eroding due to management changes and operation by crisis. I have recruited two people to the company in the past and now could not do so in good conscience.

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.
