      Pros

      BSCI is filled with a lot of very talented and motivated people in addition to being very experienced. The company's culture is one of continous improvement. Therefore, there's always opportunity to learn.

      Cons

      Senior management is very slow to promote. Lower level managers and supervisors are open and willing to promote but senior management always seem to but the stops on promotions. BSCI is a big company, and therefore it's sometimes difficult to understand where decisions are coming from. Not a whole lot of movement within company if you're interested in changing careers within the company. You seem to build a reputation and get pigeon-holed.

      Solid benefits, casual work environment, lots of regulation and long product cycles.

      Pros

      The end use of BSC's products makes it a rewarding place to work and there are opportunities to visit cath labs and see the products in action. The human application adds an interesting dimension to engineering problems. The employee benefits are solid and vacation time is generous. Salary may tend towards the low side but the yearly bonus makes up for it. The work environment is casual and laptops are provided to engineers.

      Cons

      Engineering jobs have a certain lack of creativity due to the industry being highly regulated by the FDA. Project cycle time tends to span several years which can lead to a lack of variety. Career advancement and performance feedback can be manager-dependent.

      A good place to work other than the overly regulated processes

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fairly stable business with a good range of products. It feels great to know that the work you do is helping people live better lives by use of Boston Scientific products. The latest products released are much more cutting edge compared to competitors and it's exciting to see life improving products

      Cons

      The market seems to be taking a toll on the business. Boston Scientific also seems to end up on the negative side of court rulings. Some of the most simple processes involve a large amount of paperwork which tends to make people not want to make changes. Promotion process appears to be a quite slow.
