Pros

Great for persons who want to have a long term career with one company. The environment is slow pace and doesn't change often. The turn over rate is pretty low. The company itself is large and the office here in San Jose employees over 2k people. Cafeteria serviceis provide for breakfast and lunch. BD sponsers a lot of community events and the employees have team activities during lunchtime or after work hours. Greate benefits.

Cons

Because BD as a low turn over rate, many of the employees are much older than normally found in a tech company. The software development department is relatively small compared to the size of the company; roughly 30+ developers. Company (like many others) have outsource some development to India. Pay is probably below Silicon average.

Pros

Nice campus. Helping people give your some satisfation.

Cons

No respect for engineers. No respect for peoples private time. No opportunity for advancement. Management is terrible. No managerial courage. Only concerned about the bottom line and not the long term viability of the company. People are promoted based on how good they are at kissing ass and not their abilities or successes.
