Pros

So BSX finally cleared the last regulatory hurdle and closed its takeover of your company. You get introduced to a transition team and get a big warm welcome to the family and learn all about the company culture. That's all well and good but pay attention to the date they give for when they will announce their assessment. Layoffs can commence rapidly and likely not stop until the last man standing. If BSX is strong at anything it's making profit quickly in the M&A game.

Cons

Middling severance package. This company doesn't create shareholder value by giving away money and fostering goodwill to future ex-employees. Can't be mad but there's your 2 stars.

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.
