Lack of Direction and Morale Challenges Across Business Units

Pros

The compensation and benefits package is competitive for the industry

Cons

During my time at BD, I found that a major challenge was the lack of alignment and direction across the company’s various business platforms. This disconnect often led to delayed decision-making, conflicting priorities, and an absence of clear strategic execution. Morale was noticeably low across departments, and high turnover—both at the employee and leadership levels—further disrupted continuity and collaboration. While the company has strong market presence and potential, cultural and structural issues need to be addressed to support long-term growth and employee engagement.
