Pros

Since joining Boston Scientific over two years ago as a data scientist, I've been continually pleasantly surprised by the culture: at every turn my ideas are heard; innovation is encouraged, appreciated, and supported; employees can bring their full selves; and the sense and presence of community is real. I'm truly excited for this company's future, and for my career at Boston Scientific.

Cons

Boston Scientific is large company, and change can be slow. In addition, this size and the general structure that has resulted from growth through acquisitions means that silos can abound. It takes a willingness to reach out to others, effort to spread ideas, and engagement of the rich communities of practice and employee resource groups to drive important change. Fortunately, the company culture is such that when you do this, you will be heard, and you will be empowered to continue.

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.
