Vantaggi
The pay is pretty good. The benefits and vacation time are better than the pay. You can move up pretty quickly if you're a good worker. Although, once you get closer to upper management you also have to shake the right hands and say the right things.
Svantaggi
BD is a giant corporation only worried about the bottom line. They are very concerned about their ESG score and hire and promote accordingly, unfortunately to the detriment of the company and employees. Until you get to a job group 4 the bonuses are pretty weak. Morale is mostly pretty low. The higher ups are disconnected from the rest of the worker bees. It seems like they implement procedures and strategies with little input from those actually doing the work, creating inefficiencies and red tape. After seeing some great folks work hard to move up only to be first on the chopping block for layoffs is very demoralizing.
