What is the hiring process like at Bristol Myers Squibb?

The hiring process was quick

Canteen food is a hit or miss with it mostly being a miss a lot of the time. Lack of growth opportunities.

The culture in BMS is definitely one of the best aspects of working for the company. Overall great work life balance and a lot of engagement initiatives to get involved in. People are very friendly and helpful. Work is pretty interesting too and there are opportunities for personal development.

The hiring process can be unclear and moving role/ progression can be difficult.

Decent pay, flexible hours, collaborative colleagues

Too many meetings, complicated hiring process

very process in the entire hiring process

I don't have any cons to share

Interview and conversation with the hiring manager was an easy process.

Primary language (60%) spoken is Hindi, 40% English and most of the updates are shared in Hindi. primary teaching language is Hindi, and if you learn Hindi then the primary language spoke will change to Gujarati. I approached my manager and said I'm an English speaker and may I have a different trainer - his response, "you'd better learn Hindi" and he was dead serious. BMS has a new CEO and is drastically cutting employees in both management and departmental. I saw entire departments get wiped with no notice to active staff. On a site with 16+ buildings half were empty. Naturally most FTE's are unmotivated and fear for there jobs. The talent is leaving, systems are not maintained and do not function as designed. Training systems can be down for months. Computer networking is a joke and commands that should take seconds take hours. Software not designed to work with such extensive latency in the network breaks down and things have to be done (ad hoc - latin for as is) and this process of manual data entry takes hours. In my department a 'Live' electrical outlet fell off the wall. it was reported to maintainence and after 3 months it was not fixed in an area 1 foot away from people working. OSHA would have a field day.

Good work life balance. Good perks nice locations. Nice environment Understanding people.

Slow place of progress sometime A lot of ad-hoc meetings not great to move fast Recruitment process is very slow

Good annual leave, benefits and bonus

Complex process, too much work

Vast majority of people are happy to be here. A lot of smart and hard working employees make for good team dynamics and enjoyable work atmosphere. Great pay and benefits for full time employees.

Teams get stretched thin with workload since upper management limits the hiring of additional team members. Company profit comes first above all else, including employee morale. This has resulted in significant position slashing and limited future hiring to cut costs.

Decent pay and benefits. Plenty of amenities.

Favoritism, nepotism, prejudice, and nasty politics. You will not move up or to another department unless you are friends with the hiring manager or friends of their friends. People lacking education and experience are promoted simply for sucking up to upper management. They only promote their lunch table buddies and yes men. Avoid this place at all costs unless you're willing to play the political swamp.

great workculture good benefits good exposure
