Pros

Highly skilled teams. Very deep technical and scientific background of my team members. We elevate quality every day and have the patients best interest in mind at all times. 3 years ago the CRM team established a road map to recover from a few unfortunate events. That vision is becoming a reality now with the launch of 10 of the best products in the market and you can feel the energy growing around every corner. Each of our products is designed to help save or improve real people's lives. There are very few places you can work where you can have as much meaning. At Boston Scientific you are working not just for a pay check but for the patient who will experience a better life because of what you do.

Cons

While we deliver extremely good products to the market place our strategic marketing is sometimes challenged to figure out what is really important and stick to it. This is not the case from Jim Tobin, but one or two levels below him.

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.
