Boston Scientific Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Excellent work life balance. Really friendly environment.

Cons

Salary is less than competitors

Pros

Colleagues support each other and try to be as helpful as possible. With out peer support would be a much different place.

Cons

Management detached from day to day reality. Lack of follow through. For example lots of talk of work life balance from leadership but reality doesn’t match expectations

Pros

Worked with very friendly people

Cons

No work life balance as a contractor forced to stay on night shift, blocked by senior staff from transferring to other shifts. Agency fixed term contracts extended beyond the the legal 4 years. Full time positions already filled before there advertised with the interview process setup. Senior management view is that any body that leaves Boston Scientific leave to go to a lesser company Egotistical by any standard. High turnover of support staff but they hide this by getting agencies to advertise the open positions and keep their name out of the limelight. The latest drive is to place trainees on the night shift because they can't fill the vacancies. They boast about the best place to work , far from it when you see it from the inside

Pros

Most things really, canteen, people, salary, work life balance, finish early on Friday, possibility of working from home

Parking, weather, traffic in Galway can be a nuisance, lack of enough toilets,

Pros

Good work life balance in this company

Cons

Can’t think of any really

Pros

healthcare, yearly bonus, subsidised canteen. pay is ok if you are single, young and have no overheads like a mortgage. hours are ok and work life balance not bad if you can afford not to do overtime. unrecognised union but they have achieved substantial changes to the system that was currently in place in regards pay and conditions.

Cons

starting pay of €22.5k is very low for someone with family/mortgage etc. this goes up €500 per year until it reaches €27.5k. overtime has gone down a lot recently meaning people may struggle financially. very hard to get a promotion unless you go back to college and get a qualification and even at that it's who you know not what you know.

Pros

Friendly atmosphere Good work life balance

Cons

Salary, slow career progression, company politics, micromanaging

Pros

Bonus, canteen food, work life balance

Cons

Long commute, heavy workload at times
