Pros

Great benefits - 401(k) match $0.75 on the dollar up to 6% of salary plus separate retirement fund; good health coverage; friendly and casual environment; old, established and financially stable company that's generally well respected; concerned about honesty and ethics.

Cons

Hamstrung by its own suffocating bureaucracy; too many big shots holding too many meetings but still slow to make decisions, often inconsistent from month to month, and making decisions that are "too safe" vs. aggressive competitors; difficult to advance due to a high level of internal politics.

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.
