BD Acquisition of CareFusion

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

Large company, lots of flexibility and potential for growth if you are willing to assimilate.

Cons

Large company, incredible inefficiencies, lack of process improvement, lack of communication, lack of innovation, pretty dull. Pretty crappy insurance for a medical company. Many people would consider the cons sour grapes from an acquisition, but it's not. I spend 10 years working for Carefusion, it had it's own problems, all places do, but BD was just boring. I remember walking the hallway of their HQ and seeing portraits of leadership over the years. Just a bunch of old white men. No diversity, no thinking differently, just boring. They try to pretend that they are hip, but that's the equivalent of your grandfather trying to snapchat with you. If you are ready to just sit back and cruise to retirement, then maybe this is the place for you as long as you know how to play the game.

Pros

Insurance starts on first day compared to waiting 90 days like some other places. Starting wages are competitive. Good Friday may be a holiday if you aren't on a 12 hour shift.

Cons

Management is corrupt. Core values are a joke, communication from top down is poor at best. At BD, you aren't a name, you are just a number.
