Pros

Moving within the company is relatively easy. Boston has always been commited to keeping their employees out our branch as much as possible (no layoffs). The benefits are very good. You feel like you have a purpose when you're working there.

Cons

Your career advancement is heavily dependent on your hiring manager (big surprise) so if your manager is poor, and want to move up, you may have extreme difficulty. Base compensation can be lower than competitors.

Pros

It is a great place to get experience in the medical devices industry on the research side, or in manufacturing on the production side.

Cons

Many employees aren't motivated to work hard, upper management is often too involved in the day-to day operations of the business resulting in little authority at lower levels. Furthermore, advancement is unpredictable, and it seems like there is no distinct path for career progression.

Pros

The work life balance is good.

Cons

They over hire in HR and there isn't enough to do. The HR department is completely messed up with employees who are just collecting a paycheck.
