Pros
Most of the senior executive leadership is strong, including Mike Mahoney and Dan Brennan. Wendy Carruthers is quite exceptional. Boston Scientific largely does a great job of creating a caring environment (e.g. giving you that warm hug) and has great leadership in some areas such as HR. Benefits like summer Fridays are very nice. Great development and training opportunities. Some divisions have more effective leaders than others so if you land in one that is well-led, then you can have a fulfilling career.
Cons
The company makes some strategic investment decisions based on emotional decisions rather than actual data. The company sometimes promotes based on optics of momentum versus people who actually deliver measurable results. Recommend avoiding Urology & Pelvic Health due to very poor leadership at the top. 15 Directors left the organization in a 12-month time span due to a division leader who is spectacular on camera and in front of an audience, as well as at managing up, but whose actions behind closed doors are extremely poor and not inclusive or open to diversity of thought.
