Having seen BD’s marketing excellence in the US, I know what good looks like — but this regional office didn’t reflect that. The role was heavily downplayed, with repeated warnings about “starting from the bottom” and doing junior operational work regardless of experience. It felt more like they were trying to scare me off than attract senior talent, which was disappointing and off-putting.

First was a call from recruiter, then call with hiring manager, then went through a few more rounds with other people in team. There was a lot waiting time between each round.
