      Overall good stable employer with some nice incentives, but slow paced for those with agressive career/professional goal

      Pros

      Stable employment--great for those looking at career long employment in the same company. Great work/life balance. Generally nice environment; low to medium pressure. Incentives include stock options and pension. Corporate mission and dedication to improving human health is real; can take pride in company's mission. A highly ethical company.

      Cons

      Pace of decision making could be improved; mostly due to red tape and bureacracies. Internal competiion among divisions. Advancement does take awhile, so be patient. Compensation is generally average for industry and region. Healthcare benefits not great for such a large company. High performers may get pat on back, or may advance quickly (depends on who you know).

      Pros

      the vast majority of the employees are nice, fair and good to work with. Great place to learn the medical industry ropes.

      Cons

      Large organization. Things (priorities) are constantly changing. Some managers are unfair or don't see the big picture and just screw things up.

      Pros

      BD Biosciences is a very interesting place to work. They really do take their social responsibility very seriously. They produce very good and high quality products. They really do want to make a difference in patients lives. There are some really good people working there who are very dedicated. My work was interesting and I had a lot of opportunity to work on interesting projects.

      Cons

      There are some managers that are very knowledgable and some that hold eqivualent positions that have no clue what they are doing. The funny thing is that the upper management has no clue that there is such a disparity in skill sets. Also, there are some managers that reguarly use threats and intimidation to run their departments. They use their positons of authority to bully their emplyees while the upper management turns a blind eye to it. There is a manager there that is a sociopath and has a strange fasination with Baers. Pun intended.
