Pros

I regard BD as BDU, BD University, because it is a very dynamic, agile and constantly changing company with a very long history. Sometimes changes are painful, chaotic, and overwhelming. But after the dust has settled, most of the changes look very correct, timely and necessary. Just catching up with these changes is a very rewarding experience that helps me in my career and professional development. A challenging growth environment, very competitive but rewarding to move forward.

Cons

Growth opportunities in remote locations are limited. Sometimes very bureaucratic. Promotion can be a very slow process. The compensation is very average.

Pros

Chaotic environment forces quick growth. Treat it as a resume builder and then find a more stable opportunity.

Cons

Constant backorders due to poor management. Likely to have more changes in leadership team(s) than years spent at the company. Unethical leaders that act like high school bullies and cling to titles rather than create a supportive environment. Employees constantly left in the dark due to lack of meetings or failure of leaders to even learn what their teams are working on. Constant reorgs with no consideration of impact to teams or business continuity. Frequent cases of falsified performance reviews to push out whistleblowers with complicit HR teams. Quality policy is a joke. RTO push to high COL areas with no relocation support, onboarding, seat and laptop assignment - only to lay off entire teams within a year just to repost the same position and ask laid off employees to re-apply.
