Boston Scientific Sr. Software Engineer reviews

Some recent business trends are worrying. Executive leadership seems to be focused on acquisitions and relentless cost-savings rather than innovation. This has led to layoffs, canceled projects, headcount locks, and lean-run reorganizations which have left a lot of employees spread pretty thin. Cost-saving obsession has led to some projects being allowed to fail if budget or resources cannot be allocated, which has caused a lot of wasted time and frustration. Production systems are alarmingly frail. Cascading failures have been caused by components breaking and there being no redundancy (cost savings strikes again) or because a key person was not available and there is no backup (see again, cost savings), or because an engineer was allowed to make unilateral, undocumented changes with no regression testing. Again, these are production systems with compliance standards that are not being met. Remote work is no longer being supported, despite that it was a widely accepted work mode before the pandemic.

Slow change. Over complicated interpretation of corporate processes that result in poor site level adoption
