      Great individual workers but work overload for management that in the end affect the direct reports.

      Pros

      Some employees love the job therefore the work performance and inter-office professionalism is apparent. Great medical benefits and educational growth package(s) for all employees that take advantage of it.

      Cons

      The responsibilities of management is overloaded and therefore delayed response time to employee concerns. Having a reliable and true sense of caring about the direct reports is lacking from management overall.

      Things are going from bad to worse

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I joined Boston Scientific at the time it was Guidant Corp. The main reason was that Guidant/CPI was a well established company with market share close to 50% - catching up with Medtronic. The bonus was rarely below 15%, and when they hired me, they decreased the salary by 15% expecting it to always be the case. Anyway, the pros were great bonus, opportunity to advance in medical device industry by learning new technologies.

      Cons

      Unfortunately the pros disappeared since the time of merger. Since the time Boston Scientific has purchased Guidant, the stock plummeted and never recovered. BSC is the loser in the war with Medtronic and St.Jude Medical. Engineers are overwhelmed with work, layoffs happen every year now since 2008, sometimes twice a year. There are too many managers who do nothing but meeting with employees just once a month. Bonuses are small or non-existent. Advencement/promotion is imposible

      Pros

      Great people and products. This is a very good company concerned about their employees, customers and patients - looking to stay ahead of the curve as best they can in a challenging environment

      Cons

      Sr. Management has made very bad decisions and they are still digging out from them and now also face significant market headwinds. It will take time to really progress but they are working hard ot do so.
