Pros

BD is a great organization to work with providing you get in the right building in Sparks MD. The company overall is great with good benefits.

Cons

The 250 building is ridden with corruption and employees in upper management who are incompetent and exhibit bullying behavior towards others. This building is often referred to as the "trailer trash" of BD and that couldn't be more than correct. The Supervisor for Liquid Media was let go under shady circumstances. They lose great people because those in management have do not know how to lead. The Quality for the Liquid Media plant at 250 left because her boss was/is a bully. (I have witnessed her bosses behavior and it is disgusting--no class) incessantly attempted to bully and undermine her. The person in question did excellent work for the company and was even in the corporate mentorship program. She did great work, and even management has posted her job at a higher rank than she initially held while at BD, currently posted as a QE II. Thankfully, she got a better job in MD within a leadership role and is making A LOT more money! I have left as well. If you are a young person this is NOT a building you would want to work in. PERIOD. Long story short: STAY AWAY FROM 250...This building has ALWAYS had issues!!!!

Pros

BD acquired my company, then disassembled and ruined it. I cant think of any pros

Cons

BD laid off so many long-tenured people who were major contributors to the company's success. Anyone left now has keeping off the radar as a priority. The moral is in the toilet. They promoted/hired less experienced (and lower cost) people to fill in, but they soon find out the real deal and start working to find other positions...

Pros

- flexible schedule and work from home policy - better than average 401k plan - parental leave (6 weeks fully paid)

Cons

- promotes diversity over skills, at all costs - witch hunt for the straight white male to achieve unrealistic diversity goals - after spreading the decision power and management across locations, Franklin Lakes is now obviously bringing them back home. - too many acquisitions recently, triggering too many changes all at once and creating a horrible atmosphere, with frequent layoff waves and budget cuts. - The CareFusion days were sadly better.
