Pros

BD is an ethical company that is making an effort to be more diverse and more in touch with a younger generation. Many, not all, managers are in tune with their direct report's needs to maintain a work/life balance.

Cons

It is difficult to get promoted to a Director level or above. More often than not, these positions are filled by outside hires. You're better off leaving and coming back in a higher position. They go through firing / hiring cycles that are demotivating (e.g., laying off 10-20 people in a particular job group, and within 6-12 months, posting positions for hire in the same group). If you are a favorite of the VPs, you are allowed to practice bad behaviours with your direct reports and general management activities.

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.
