      Working at BD

      Sr manufacturing engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Future of company looks great. Products are in high demand - some on backorder - can't make enough product. -Company is starting to invest in future to satisfy growing demand. -No shortage of work and lots of places to shine - room for improvement everywhere you look no matter what your discipline. -Local (Sumter) leadership has changed for the better since I've started. -New local leadership is working hard to turn things around.

      Cons

      -Overly Bureaucratic. Sr. Leadership is extremely hierarchical and every level of Sr. leadership thinks their way is the best way and tries to enforce that without taking into account what the people below (or lateral) to them want. So, things change rapidly but not necessarily for the better. Sr. Leadership tries to micro-manage 2-4 levels below them - focusing on day-to-day operations. -Sr. Leadership is very near-sighted. Many systems & processes remain quite archaic and inefficient and they're reluctant to invest in improving them but they're highly involved in day-to-day operations.
