Pros

Corporate research and development center in Research Triangle Park, NC. Good location near freeway off-ramp. Four miles from RTP Airport. Nice campus. On site cafe with good meals and prices. Extensive library with research librarian. Very sharp, educated, diverse yet friendly workforce. Depending on hiring manager, once you're invited to interview you're almost hired.

Cons

Probably easier to get job through a recruiter than going direct. Usually great difference between posted job description and what you'll actually be doing (but usually for the better). Try to nail down their exact duties and expectations.

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.
