Pros

you have a job to go with stress ever day.

Cons

Awe full aggressive management and manger. work you to death. Very high turn over. why you think they are constantly hiring. Most of bad reviews are true. HR is buttering it to cover. Just remember we told you so. Not having job is better than being here. Think twice before joining .

Pros

BD is a great organization to work with providing you get in the right building in Sparks MD. The company overall is great with good benefits.

Cons

The 250 building is ridden with corruption and employees in upper management who are incompetent and exhibit bullying behavior towards others. This building is often referred to as the "trailer trash" of BD and that couldn't be more than correct. The Supervisor for Liquid Media was let go under shady circumstances. They lose great people because those in management have do not know how to lead. The Quality for the Liquid Media plant at 250 left because her boss was/is a bully. (I have witnessed her bosses behavior and it is disgusting--no class) incessantly attempted to bully and undermine her. The person in question did excellent work for the company and was even in the corporate mentorship program. She did great work, and even management has posted her job at a higher rank than she initially held while at BD, currently posted as a QE II. Thankfully, she got a better job in MD within a leadership role and is making A LOT more money! I have left as well. If you are a young person this is NOT a building you would want to work in. PERIOD. Long story short: STAY AWAY FROM 250...This building has ALWAYS had issues!!!!

Pros

BD acquired my company, then disassembled and ruined it. I cant think of any pros

Cons

BD laid off so many long-tenured people who were major contributors to the company's success. Anyone left now has keeping off the radar as a priority. The moral is in the toilet. They promoted/hired less experienced (and lower cost) people to fill in, but they soon find out the real deal and start working to find other positions...
