Pros
First the good. The compensation, PTO, and benefits are still good. And the front-line associates (who do the actual work and grow the company) are great.
Cons
BD is very top heavy with management. It seems everyone is some level of Director or Manager. BD claims a work life balance for employees. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Expect to work in the evenings, at night and when you’re with your family on PTO. BD is very cliquey and choice assignments or advancement could depend upon how good you are at company politicking. If you’re considering employment with BD, your biggest concern should be the constant layoffs and reorganizations. If you accept a position with BD, it would be wise to always have an updated resume and network at the ready.
