Pros

BD exhibits an open environment for asking questions, learning, and challenging the status quo. They openly encourage the employees to be courageous and seek empowerment. A modern company with modern leadership and ways of thinking. Their values show in the high quality and innovation in their products, as well as top place in the market. I am highly encouraged at the opportunity to work in this company.

Cons

No company has all of their ducks in a row, and BD is no different. Some weakness in the onboarding process: knowing which tools to learn, how to get all services connected and working properly, IT issues. Nothing very serious, however, so far as I can tell.

Beware of politics

Pros

No micro management More friendly than not associates Good work life balance

Cons

Open left leaning politics. BD has employee resources groups that push a very left agenda. Be prepared to see events celebrating transgender visibility day and pride events where you are ‘anti LGBTQ’ if you support keep sports sex segregated of if you support restricting gender transitioning for minors. They have also been trying to hold PAC donations from politicians they don’t like. Unfortunately many associates never say anything because I assume they are afraid of hurting their reputation or even their jobs. Politics in the workplace began around 2017.
