In 12 years at working at Boston I've seen a great company to work for turn into a terrible one to work for. - PB Boston Scientific Employee Review

Pros

The benefits are ok and location

Cons

Terrible work-life . No family time because of shifts if your on evenings. Biggest problem is the constant threat to my job with the new absenteeism program that means if your off sick for a week you get corrective action. If you miss one day for the next year you get verbal warning and your sick pay for a year. And on the other side were forced to use our holidays when the company has down days due to business needs.i myself had to take holidays for a week because I was sick. Facts are its clear Boston wants us to use up our holidays so we have to call in sick and they in turn can put us through the corrective process and in the end cut down on the perminent staff. After 12 years I'm disgusted how were all treated in the last few years.

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.
