I interviewed at BD two separate times (via a recruiter both times). The first time was in 2017 and again in 2019. This was for a UX position in the diagnostics division in Sparks, MD. The 2017 interview series was the weirdest. I went through two phone screens w. recruiter, then phone screen w BD, then a whole series of interviews (1/2 day) at BD. Mind you this is for a staff UX 1099 position, no corporate benefits, employed by recruiter, no PTO, recruiter health insurance, churning wireframes. I actually really liked the people I met w at the company in the UX and dev teams (there was no design team per se, but a couple UXes were heavy on design). They liked me. (Found this out later for sure, because I ended up there later, which is ANOTHER story). Anyway I got word from recruiter that it was pretty much a done deal. The only thing left (another thing??) was that I hadn’t been interviewed by “Harry” (names changed). Recruiter says, well, they want you for sure, but you have to be interviewed by Harry, and the literally only time he will meet w you is seven AM, tomorrow morning. (This call happens midday the day before). I’m like, ooookay? So I get up and go to this creepy deserted corporate campus that looks like it stepped directly out of 1993, at seven AM, the doors not even open, to meet “Harry”. It’s clear to me from jump he has no intention of hiring me. He’s condescending, patronizing, and asks me zero relevant questions. And yup, soon as I get home I get a call. They passed. The interview with Harry was insulting. Quite frankly the hoops I had to jump through in the whole process were insulting too. Later, because I worked there, I found out what happened with the woman they ended up hiring instead of me. Let’s just say it was not awesome, her outcomes. Nor were mine, in the end. I ended up going to work for a major defense contractor on a super secret mission I cannot discuss, but later BD reared its head again and I took the bait, because I thought Harry was an anomaly. Listen, trooth: if you meet a Harry on an interview, HE IS NOT AN ANOMALY. run don’t walk to the nearest exit, no matter how desperate you are for a job.
