Pros

Good pay and benefits, meaningful mission (even though you will never hear anyone talk about patient impact)

Cons

Terrible culture. Profits over people mentality. Tons of turnover. Lack of direct communication. Zero focus on career development and retention. Lots of ego. Return-to-office mandate and bonuses don’t pay out fully despite good performance reviews and company hitting goals. Management by fear permeates. Work-life balance is non-existent. BD keeps taking away benefits and expects absolute loyalty without giving any in return.

Pros

Work from home with some customer facing travel

Cons

Unrealistic work load with year over year changes to the organization. Changes are made with no plan on how to execute.

Pros

BD is an amazing company to work for. The culture is thriving and inclusive. People always do their best because they believe in the purpose of improving the delivery of health. BD's innovation focuses on advancing the world of health. Communication at all levels of the organization is always a priority. I would highly recommend working for BD.

Cons

BD is a big company that may be intimidating to some; however, they do a great job at communication and inclusion. You can still feel like an important part of this big company.
