Pros

Peers were nice and knowledgable, and the technologies were good.

Cons

Way too much stress and politics. BD could be thinned-out so nicely and run like a well-oiled machine, but it's a gold old boy network of lifers and their friends.

Pros

Amazing coworkers and direct management. The people you work with and report to really do actually care. There used to be a thriving culture, work life balance, schedule flexibility, and a commitment to employee growth.

Cons

They no longer care about people. Tom Polen's "BD 2025" ruined BD. Layoffs now occur every 6 months. No ones job is secure. They are not committed to employee growth and continuing education like they claim to be.
