Pros
If I was asked a year ago to provide a list of "Pros" related to working for BMS, the list would have been extensive. My response to the same question today...not many "Pros" to working at BMS during this very tumultuous time of company transformation. We are hemorrhaging great talent and nobody seems to care as attrition is viewed as a mechanism to allow the company to achieve it's talent reduction targets. Having to watch so much talent and vibrant leadership walk (or be forced) out the door, I made the difficult decision to leave this sinking ship. But if you love shiny new ultramodern infrastructure, Princeton Pike may be a great place for you to work.
Cons
-Staff reduction decisions being made with no regard for performance history or years of service. -Employees still standing are completely preoccupied with company transformation and trying to predict what the next round of changes will bring. This has led to a "self-preservation" mentality - people clamoring for non optimal roles that they think will offer them a level of job security. -Company operating model has been turned upside down in the last year (thank-you BCG!). Poor communication and expectation setting around how to work in the new model. In short, WAY too much change in a short period of time. -Over-reliance on a single asset - Opdivo. -Weak upper management driven to transform the company to be "more competitive" in the future, but in reality are dressing the company up for an acquisition.
