My opinion is not based on something bad that had happened. I had a great performance review and no conflict of any sort, so what I am about to say is an honest opinion, free of bias. Boston Scientific was a medical devices company that I wanted to work for based on similarity of reviews compared to another fantastic med-tech company I worked for. I was extremely disappointed with what I encountered. Layers and layers of bureaucracy and red tape ... most of it self-inflicted. As an engineer, expect to spend 80-95% of your time in meetings and filling out no value-add quality system paperwork. Company growth is driven by acquisitions and existing product portfolio, not internal R&D or new product development. If you are expecting to develop professionally as an engineer, this is not a place for you. Very slow, process and paperwork driven environment. Paperwork comes with being a medical device company, but Boston Scientific is miles ahead of competitors in terms of self-inflicted over kill. Quality Managers/Engineers provide the least value to the company but drive 100% of the decision making. Again, one of the biggest disappointments in my career, after working hard to get into the company. The company almost embraced the woke culture ... you nearly have to commit felony crime here to get fired. Incompetence runs deeps with people who should have been fired a long ago maintaining high pay jobs while offering nothing in return. If you don't believe me, compare similar companies' revenue growth over the past 10 years, with BSCI. In my short time with BSCI we had almost 70% engineering turn-over rate within the group.
