"BDC is very open to other cultures and respects the value of diversity. I felt genuinely welcomed when I started in St. John's a year ago. The team members here were especially supportive, which helped me integrate in the workplace. BDC provides opportunities for employees to achieve their long-term career goals. BDC is not only my first Canadian employer, it is a place where I can excel and it is the place I want to stay."
— Shirley L., Portfolio Management Analyst
