Pros

The company is very employee oriented with many ways in which they can give back to the community and special causes through employee led fund raising efforts. Management supports employee giving through donation matches and employee incentives. You get the feeling that you are part of a big family working together to drive profitably, at the same time helping others. Many employees are given freedom to self manage their day to day role.

Cons

Not enough synergy between different business units and operation sites. Hesitancy to integrate Guidant into the legacy business allowed other businesses to create silos and miss opportunities to work together. The company feels like it is more a conglomerate of many businesses allowed to do their own thing sometimes missing the common goal.

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.
