Pros

A good place to meet people in the medical device industry for networking. Not a bad place to start your career, if you can put up with the incompetence of management - at least in the areas of Manufacturing Engineering and Operations.

Cons

Incompetent management. Managers here are promoted too quickly, before they have any real experience. The criteria for promotions is unclear, other than "who you know". Hard work and competency does not get you ahead in this company. Therefore most people leave the company or get asked to leave within 5 years or so. Morale is very low. Innovation is severely lacking. And quality systems are a major weakness here.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
