Pros

The best reasons to work for Boston Scientific are to meet people in the industry. Also the benefits are good compared to other companies in terms of health insurance, eye, dental, and 401-k. The salary and bonus compensation is adequate or a bit below average.

Cons

The biggest downsides are the incompetencies of the Directors, especially the Directors of Manufacturing Engineering and so forth. People are promoted to Director positions, not because they are good managers, but because they know other people. The management style is classic manage by intimidation, along with little to know management downward. The Directors manage upward only. There is little to no development of people and the culture is very cut throat, very tense and very chaotic. Attention to Quality is poor and turn over is extremely high in key areas.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
