Pros

Flexible during covid, good benefits.

Cons

Toxic culture. Backstabbing. Long hours with low pay. You will but your best foot forward every day and be punished for it.

Pros

I grew from entry level to seasoned professional at Boston Scientific. I learned everything I know about the cybersecurity industry during my time there, and view it as the place I "grew up" as a professional. Work/life balance is unparalleled. It's never an issue to take care of a personal matter. Management is always supportive of internal transfers if you want to do something else. BSC paid for high quality training and certification exams, and sent me to multiple conferences. The people are amazing. I always enjoyed working with everyone during my time at BSC. These are some of the best relationships I've forged in my career.

Cons

Pay is below market for cybersecurity. Back to office after 2 years fully remote was frustrating. Some office perks that were huge draws 5 years ago now seem like silly gimmicks to get people who want to work from home to come into the office against their will.

Pros

Competitive 401(k) and stock options. Market leader in endoscopy, so revenue is stable.

Cons

BSC used to pride itself on patient-first innovation; however, recent shifts in management have resulted in Marketing pressuring R&D to launch products that aren't ready (usually due to poorly defined market needs). R&D projects are often led by inexperienced engineers who have not taken products to market before. Pay is not competitive and benefits have been slowly reduced for several years (no rollover vacation, loss of healthcare incentives, increased healthcare/deductible costs). In 2023, the endoscopy division laid off nearly all sustaining engineers and many NPD engineers. Many of those laid off were falsely told they would not be impacted.
