Ok place to start a career, but don't stay long and don't guage this as the way all medical companies are managed.

Manufacturing engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A good place to meet people in the medical device industry for networking. Not a bad place to start your career, if you can put up with the incompetence of management - at least in the areas of Manufacturing Engineering and Operations.

Cons

Incompetent management. Managers here are promoted too quickly, before they have any real experience. The criteria for promotions is unclear, other than "who you know". Hard work and competency does not get you ahead in this company. Therefore most people leave the company or get asked to leave within 5 years or so. Morale is very low. Innovation is severely lacking. And quality systems are a major weakness here.

A good place to gain experience and work with intelligent and friendly people, but with many layers of management

Regulatory affairs specialist ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working on projects at the forefront of the industry provides great learning opportunities and a great way to gain experience. The benefits are good and above average for the industry and there is flexibility with work schedule and taking vacation time. Global interaction and occasional opportunities for travel are also a plus. Most of the time, colleagues are friendly and easy to work with.

Cons

There are multiple layers of management (expected for a large corporation), that slow down communication across the organization. Reorganization also seems to be a common theme throughout various areas of the company, thus lowering morale. Employee turnover is moderate. Salaries don't seem to be as high as other companies and the ways to advance your career or get promoted are not clear.

A great place to work if the position is a good fit and you can overlook lack of communication from Sr. Management

Senior r&d engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

The opportunity to work with talented and intelligent people. Everyone was open to idea sharing at the peer level. These are two of Boston Scientific's strong points. The opportunity to work on cutting edge technologies. Hearing how our products are improving the quality of life for people. The flexiblity of the work schedule which allowed for balance between work and home life. A great place to work if the position is a good fit to your interests.

Cons

The lack of communication from Senior Management was the largest downside. Their inability to give straight answers to questions gave the impression that they are hiding things. Not knowing the future direction of the company made it difficult to focus on where to generate IP. Also the appearance that Senior Management was paralyzed by making difficult decisions. The employees were treated as a number during reorganization instead of being evaluated by the skills they could supply. This resulted in a very poor fit to the position. Documenting everything has gotten out of control. The company needs to figure out how to create documentation in a smart and effective manner.
