Pros

There are some good people in the company that are great to work alongside and learn from.

Cons

BD is incredible at wasting talent, promoting mediocrity, and ensuring their rolling layoffs always cause the best people to leave suddenly, in the middle of the night, jeopardising your program. I shouldn't have strong opinions on the leadership of a company but good god this lot are beyond their best-before dates. Maybe that's why half the C-suite "retired" or left recently. The current business focus is to ensure that the stock goes up, whatever the costs. So the beatings will continue until it's above 220. I hope you all like being fed into the grinder. Limerick specifically isn't a nice office. The canteen is foul, ambient noise makes it hard to focus, there's no parking, and the building layout makes it impossible to navigate.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
