      Employees Take a Back Seat to Profits

      Analyst

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many great people to work with. Plenty of parking.

      Cons

      Management is not discreet about who their "favorites" are and you almost have to be a "favorite" to be promoted. Compensation is not commensurate with duties/job description and people are very often given the duties of a senior level position but they are not afforded the tille nor the pay. BD has a Work From Home policy, however CareFusion will not allow it in most departments...unless you are a "favorite".

      Poor Upper Management, poor documentation, poor leadership

      Senior principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working hours: Most of the upper management are located in other states. No daily micro management and flexible working hours.

      Cons

      Benefits: There are no company matching contributions. Working Environment / culture: People come in at 1030am (every other day) and leave on time or 10 minutes after 5pm (right after some directors leave). People take long lunches that are more than 2 hours (not just on Friday). No one is interested to get to know each other. This creates a VERY QUIET working environment. Upper Management: The upper management of the department is located in Chicago. The whole department is run by a short young kid, known as Rumpelstiltskin. He tries very hard to keep his position - a once in his life time chance. He hires as many 'army' as he can to show to the board of directors that he is an important asset. These people become his shield when layoffs come. I.E. They get lay off first before anything gets to him. Career Opportunities: I have been working here for almost 4 years and there are no career advancements provided to me. I am required to write procedures and training materials to teach the new, unqualified employees.

      Bad experience!

      Pros

      The location is ideal, the cafeteria is nice, and most the coworkers are very friendly. However, these pros are far outweighed by the cons.

      Cons

      Horrible management, no direction, antiquated systems, hostile work environment, run like a sweat shop, only care about money not employees, no work life balance
