Pluspunten

Nice facility, in-house gym, mandatory ergo assessment of each work station. Work-life balance is good for most positions. Organic garden - if you like gardening you can plant your own vegetables there.

Minpunten

Slow: too many meetings, too few decisions. People are discouraged to speak up their technical mind, if this is not "politically" correct at a particular moment. I can never figure out what politics have to do with science. Being pro-active is not a good thing here. Everything is solved on a reaction basis: deal with it when it happens, do not bring bad news ahead of time and try to solve "non-existing" problems! As in many other companies the management does not want to hear about problems. They want solutions! But how do you solve an issue if you do not want to acknowledge that it exists? Especially if you need other people on board to help you solve that issue. Tough! If you work very hard, management will keep putting more work on your plate and constantly point out not what you have accomplished, but what you did not. On the other hand if you push back and slack off - that is OK too: management will let you be and later when your work does not get done they will cover for you (what a nice benefit for lazy people we have here!). Since the management did not want to deal with your laziness they feel obliged to cover their own incompetency.

Pluspunten

There really aren't any. Incredibly toxic culture all the way down. BD used to be a great and supportive place to work but that is no more.

Minpunten

Very toxic culture. Management all the way down is either abusive or or flat out incompetent. We are told to essentially ignore our own code of conduct policies and ethics to the point where all qualified and competent performers have been run off by tyrant middle managers who can essentially do whatever they want or being saddled with the work of 3 people. You will not be valued here. The morale is at bottom and everyone is looking to leave the sinking ship.
