Pros

Many teams with amazing people. This used to be a great company to work for but the culture has changed a lot and it’s mostly about numbers now.

Cons

Constant layoffs, offshoring and piling additional work on already overworked people. Medical benefits are at significantly higher cost than other companies.

Pros

BD has Fair compensation and PTO, good work life balance and 401K. Nice amenities and perks at the Franklin Lakes campus and coworkers are awesome.

Cons

This was once a great company to work for. Sadly, that is no longer true. Growth by innovation has been replaced by growth by acquisition and outsourcing. As a result employees are no longer valued the way they once were. Multiple layoffs per year are the norm. Health benefits are now expensive.
