      Not so good

      Pros

      Raises okay, most people are friendly

      Cons

      Mfg Dept. gets no money for classes or training of employees. In-house or outside training to improve yourself is non-existent. Mfg budget too tight, no fringe benefits, rarely any team building activities. Healthcare benefits are not very good - employees have even been told how poor their plans are when visiting doctors and dentists. Culture is stuck in the mud, takes a lot of effort and a long time to get simple things done. QA is unorganized and they are definitely not all on the same page. What you get depends on who you get. Validations are overly complicated and painful.,

      Pros

      Good salary and opportunities for advancement

      Cons

      Worked for BD for 11 years and now retired. Can't get anyone to help with benefits and they hire out all HR related services to 3'rd parties so absolutely no help on understanding why changes are made.

      Meh

      Pros

      Average pay, decent benefits, they buy you food almost every day, the job has an impact on patients lives (good, depending on who you are).

      Cons

      You will be pigeonholed into your position and you will never move up. You only learn proprietary products that you will never use anywhere else, and the IT-related knowledge is as basic as it gets. You will not learn anything that you can use in a future job (which could be good for someone who's lazy). The culture is extremely cutthroat, plenty of favoritism and most of the employees will stab you in the back, plenty of office gossip as well. Management smiles in your face until they're ready to slit your throat from behind. Beware.
