Pros

Large company, setting up my own team, recruiting some excellent engineers. Technical Training delivery was excellent. In the management eyes, we were the best thing since sliced bread.

Cons

Service Workshop being run as a production line. Minimum target of units required repaired per day, if the engineer didn’t meet daily targets, they were held accountable. Some faults on infusion pumps were problematic and took longer to diagnose, so you could easily be behind your daily target due to fault finding and testing. I was also part of the production daily output, but also had to manage a team, go to meeting after meeting after meeting, create strategies etc. I was also held accountable for lack of output and had to justify as to why I didn’t meet daily target. I found that management were difficult to approach and wanted to hear ‘Yes’ to the impossible. Long hours. Overall the ‘BD’ experience was extremely disappointing and it’s not a company I would want to work for again.

Pros

There really aren't any. Incredibly toxic culture all the way down. BD used to be a great and supportive place to work but that is no more.

Cons

Very toxic culture. Management all the way down is either abusive or or flat out incompetent. We are told to essentially ignore our own code of conduct policies and ethics to the point where all qualified and competent performers have been run off by tyrant middle managers who can essentially do whatever they want or being saddled with the work of 3 people. You will not be valued here. The morale is at bottom and everyone is looking to leave the sinking ship.
