      Excellent time at BD for the first few years, but the company is now in a transition and the environment is at risk.

      Pros

      Very interesting, socially beneficial products, bright people, pleasant working conditions, flexible work schedules.

      Cons

      Can be bureaucratic, not-invented-here attitude, recent top management change threatens the positive aspects of the company, director level and higher people are poor communicators.

      Okay Place to Work, But Nothing to Brag About

      Pros

      Most employees are nice to work with. Weight room available (extra fee), cafeteria with fairly decent food (subsidized, average cost about $6.50 per meal w/o drink), no smoking on premises.

      Cons

      One of the company values is "doing what is right," but of course it doesn't necessarily apply if it means slowing down production, or when it comes to standing up against internal politics. The decor in the original building (there are three total) is extremely outdated and there hasn't been much effort to modernize it, just occasional replacement of old stuff with the same style. Interior of original building can get quite noisy at times, depending on where you sit. All the money went into design of the two newer buildings.
