Pros

Company focused in doing what is right for patients and physicians: Great values, great mission, great people. There is never a boring day. This company moves very quick to develop great therapies and is constantly innovating new technologies and opportunities. Very broad areas of work: biomedical research, electronics, software, mechanical, materials, firmware, systems, RF, ASIC, implantables, user interfaces/ experience, digital health, etc. In summary: Very fulfilling work, with great teams, and a company that appreciates its people, celebrates diversity and makes everyone feel part of the family.

Cons

Be ready for an intense experience. People give their best and that is expected from every one, regardless of the role you play in the company. It is very well worth it, if you enjoy that kind of pace. If you do not, it can become overwhelming.

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.
