Pros

Part of a large corporation. Potential ability to make a difference. Ability to interact with several different groups within the organization. Room for advancement.

Cons

Not much common sense used in decision-making. No focus on developing actual talent. Short-sighted management. Day-to-day fear of the next round of staff cuts.

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.
