      Pros

      Fantastic innovative products. Sadly they do not reach their potential due to poor management.

      Cons

      Bullying, favouritism, toxic managers. It is an environment where toxic individuals are rewarded and hard working team members are expected to just get on with it. Very poor work life balance.

      Advice to Management

      You have been told by numerous employees about your culture and issues with managers. Rather than sweeping under carpet or dismissing individuals as trouble makers if suggest listening and acting

      Pros

      Very few select individuals who are genuine and good to work with.

      Cons

      There are some individuals who have a high sense of entitlement and show this negative attitude towards new employees.

      Management generally has no clue- they're usually specialists in product knowledge, but have very little people management skills. Expect very little (almost none), professional and personal development from management as an employee in this organization.

      Far far too much office politics in the ANZ office- which is ironically mostly driven by HR leadership. There is a general sense of fear and distrust within the office which is quite unfortunate.

      If you want to succeed, you have to suck up to a handful of managers, otherwise you are considered an outcast.

      Advice to Management

      Get a clue.

      I have been working at Boston Scientific full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Products are second to none. Reputation is good. My colleagues, whilst most are currently very unhappy with management, they were supportive and fun. Used to be a wonderful company. If you enjoy process and paperwork though then this company is for you.

      Cons

      Toxic environment. Bullying common at all levels. Not a fun place to work currently so I would advise very careful consideration before accepting a position. See comment above. Management fearful and are merely puppets, performing shamefully. Disgustingly abusive atmosphere.

      Advice to Management

      Stand up for your teams. Grow spines. Grow up. Grow standards.

      Pros

      Good R&D team delivering strong pipeline of innovation

      Cons

      Old boys club at the top. All senior positions filled based on tenure and who you know and get along with.

      Advice to Management

      Bring in fresh leaders from outside and break up management clique at the top.

      Pros

      Great culture, great offices, great staff to work with!

      Cons

      I was made redundant at BSC.

      Advice to Management

      Look after your best people who continually challenge the status quo. The best ideas often come from your creative thinkers.

      I have been working at Boston Scientific full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Market leader, great products, great training, great market profile. Culture fluctuates depending on CEO, very driven by USA agenda.

      Cons

      Australia - Disgusting abuse of power, horrible Senior management. Incompetent and self obsessed. My way or the highway approach. Controlling, flat structure promotions based on "corporate sucking and gender" rather than actual ability.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your staff. Put your own arrogance to one side, and stop being two faced. Stop profiling for "suitability" and give the limited promotional opportunities to those who deserve them, rather than favourites. HR need to look at their job description again from top to bottom, as they subscribe to side with the MD and not look after the interests of the staff.

      Fast Paced environment isn't for everyone
