Pros

BD is very conscious of quality of life, working environment is very congenial, work is challenging but rewarding. BD is very committed to its mission statement of "helping all people live healthy lives", and work to that end is rewarding.

Cons

Compensation is at best average compared to others in the medical products industry. Company is too risk-averse in product development and overdependent on acquisition for innovation. BD typically does not like to hire employees without significant experience, which leads to having an older workforce.

Pros

Excellent benefits, good career development opportunities, good working environment and plenty of chances to effect your job scope and direction.

Cons

It is a large, publicly traded corporation which means that share price rules decision-making at times when it really should not. Many employees that have been with the company for a lot of years which can make it a challenge to introduce changes.
