Pros

Very aggressive negotiators, and when the going gets tough this company gets on with it. That said, the day-to-day work can be very process bound which can be frustrating if you've come from a more innovative company, as I did.

Cons

I came from CareFusion, the company that BD acquired in March 2015, although I should add a disclaimer that I was let go quite early during the integration process, despite 10 successful years at my old firm. Compared to them, I sense BD is a much more silo-based company with little interaction between front-line management & shared service support (a critical factor in my role.) I also felt that they are very process bound which could hamper smart thinking, and that they will face challenges integrating their new acquisition, both financially and culturally.

Pros

Great company, great culture, and great people. Solid product offering. Benefits are good. Work from home. Very competitive salary.

Cons

There have been several rounds of layoffs in the past and with the BD acquisition, there have been more and it appears even more to come. Lots of travel associated with most field based positions. Work life balance not so great. Hard to disconnect and enjoy time off.
