Pros

Outstanding work-life balance. There's a belief in not working too much and that it's just a job. Additionally, in my experience, I found that my peers had the drive and creativity to market sub-par products in a crowded space. Average benefits across med-tech companies.

Cons

Stagnation and mediocrity are acceptable part of the culture, so if you are a hard charger, you won't fit in. When management skills (leadership, driving the business, creativity) in this company are compared to managers in other companies, BSC managers are sub-par. Culture is stuck in the 1990s, during the good old days. Hey, guess what, it's a different ball game, but the company hasn't changed with the times

Pros

The people were great. Work-life balance was easy to achieve as the workload was not unreasonable.

Cons

The upper management does not seem to have a great vision of the future. Too many layoffs. The stock price has been floundering for a few years, which is not great for the 401 plan!

Pros

Not much comes to mind since BSC bought Guidant. Guidant gave you bragging rights... BSC does not.

Cons

Might be a good company to work at areas other than IS, alas I had not the opportunity to experience. Our new IT motto is "Don't care for quality, save a dime". Problem is we're making devices implented in people's bodies, not lemonade! Crude language is tolerated. Respect is not present.
