Business Outlook

Pros

Small patches of the company had really great and innovative people.

Cons

Middle management structure was stifling to anything productive. Anyone with good work ethic and good ideas was immediately viewed as a threat and fed to the BSC political machine.

Business Outlook

Pros

BSC makes compelling products, and management is pretty forward thinking of late about using the best technology possible. I've had great options for career advancement and feel like I'm part of a solid team.

Cons

It's a very large company - this is both a blessing and a curse. There have been movements to use offshore teams more in the last 4 years.

Boston Scientific is more committed to its shareholders than to its employees and customers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Boston Scientific is engaged in bringing innovative medical products to market. They have been a leader in the areas of stent production and heart rhythm devices (defibrillators and pacemakers). This means that the work you do as a member of the company directly improves the lives of individuals. The annual Quality Day event showcases specific patients and their families in a way that brought tears to my eyes every time I saw how the technologies I worked on helped people in very tangible ways.

Cons

Boston Scientific has become increasingly focused on cost reduction through outsourcing key functions (IT, R&D, manufacturing). This has resulted in a series of layoffs over the past 4 years. The result has been devastating to both the people laid off and the people remaining behind as the survivors have seen workloads increase and financial resources shrink.
