Pros
IT with Boston Scientific is good - if you are in the favor of the right leaders. The new CIO has a good vision to move IT from "order takers" to "strategic partners" with the business. It is a good place to start and have a mid-range career in IT. Pretty good benefits (vacation starts at 15 days), and in IT after a while most people have a standing work from home day on Friday. Work-life balance is OK depending on what team you are on.
Cons
To get on good projects and promoted at an ideal rate, must be in favor with IT leadership. There is too much emphasis on internal networking, sometimes gets in the way of actual work. The idea of moving towards doing more Agile methodology is poorly planned. Only one big project is doing Agile right now; the worst part - they have a Manager I put in charge of leading the change. This needs to be championed higher from the top, and not just by throwing out buzz words in IT Town Halls. The company has to cut down on SG&A costs a lot - IT is one of the top areas this spending has to be reduced.
