Pros
The best reasons to work for Boston Scientific are to meet people in the industry. Also the benefits are good compared to other companies in terms of health insurance, eye, dental, and 401-k. The salary and bonus compensation is adequate or a bit below average.
Cons
The biggest downsides are the incompetencies of the Directors, especially the Directors of Manufacturing Engineering and so forth. People are promoted to Director positions, not because they are good managers, but because they know other people. The management style is classic manage by intimidation, along with little to know management downward. The Directors manage upward only. There is little to no development of people and the culture is very cut throat, very tense and very chaotic. Attention to Quality is poor and turn over is extremely high in key areas.
