Pros

BD has been an incredible company to work for- I've met some wonderful people, and have tremendous respect for the core values and what BD stands for. This is a company that actually practices what they preach- it's so refreshing. I come to work everyday and feel that I am being challenged and growing personally and professionally. I feel like my opinions and ideas are valued.

Cons

There is a lot of room to build efficiency within the company- some of the processes are decades old, and I'm not complaining about this because the reason is that you have a LOT of employees who have been with the company for 30-40 years. There are times when I come across a process that makes absolutely no sense, but it sticks because that's the way it's always been. So, while there is work to do reinvent certain processes and eliminate some of the inefficiencies in the business, it's a privilege to know and work with so many loyal employees that know the roots of the business and it's values.

Pros

BD University was a wonderful learning experience and offered tools that I use every day in business. The overall effect made BD a highly professional environment and a relatively pleasant place to work. At BD there was a true commitment to work/life balance, especially to young families and people with disabilities. While working there one felt they were making an improvement to someone's daily life.

Cons

Too much politics and old school network when seeking opportunities and/or advancement. Individulists were isolated and excluded from opportunities, both professionally and socially. The wages were quite low for the region and were only partially offset by the benefits provided. An in-depth analysis of the cost-of-employment should be done before accepting any offers.
