Pros

- Benefits (Pension, Stocks, Christmas bonus) - Good social culture (Christmas parties, drive in movie nights) - Great looking office with a lovely canteen and showers on site

Cons

- Bad case of micromanagement and favoritism - Poor career development as they don't give out promotions or pay rises. No real reward for hard work which leads to a high attrition rate - Toxic management who bully employees at times - Alot of redundancy's every year. Seems like they cant promise roles to employees at any point in the year

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.
