Pros

I have 30 years experience with Boston Scientific. I retired April 01, 2022. I have experience in numerous areas of the company; including aprox. 8+ years working directly with techs and engineers on a regular basis (in different Pilot Labs), testing and helping develope new products. I worked in numerous production areas over my 30 years of employment. On 2 separate occasions, I was chosen to represent my talents in my field on a 3 week job relocations in Mexico, and also a 6 month relocation in California.

Cons

With my 30 years experience with Boston Scientific, I wish I would have expanded my options to work up the ladder a bit more. When one of the areas I was working in, several years back, sold out to Mexico, I took a severance package. On behalf of Boston Scientific, I went to college for 2 years, Business Marketing and Management. Due to a family issue, I was forced to return back into the work field immediately. I financially needed a job, but had no time to find immediate employment related to my degree. I heard Boston Scientific was hiring, so I went and applied. I was immediately rehired. The only thing was, the temp agency was the ones doing the recruiting. I started employment, but was hired on as an Assembler 1...again. I was an Assembler 111 when I originally left. I felt I should have applied for jobs online to get hired on directly by Boston Scientific, and to resume my status, and to expand my opportunities with my college degree.

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.
