Q&A With Boston Scientific Employees

Yes

A week or two.

Business Casual

No dental insurance coverage

I never interviewed with Boston Scientific. I already worked for Advance Bionics when they were purchased.

The culture changed a lot once the outsourcing of manufacturing became know. Stability in the work environment.

Very good health benefits. Solid 401K and bonus I retired in 2013

Professional and motivated. I retired in 2013.

The working relationship within the operations group. The improvement to human life because of the product that was made there.

Normal Corp. America pace. If it wasn't for the additional commute time it would be fine.

Annually for salary & bonuses.

Working with good people with my department. Cooperative departments when working on other assignments.

Have a global outlook with an understanding & experience with European and Pacific Rim cultures.

During my time at Boston (2005-2013) the pace was quick and most people pulling there load.

Operations had a good core of managers. Hard working and very much part of the team. The last two years has become harder to talk openly. Groups becoming more territorial and less open.

Good people to work with. Most of which I had worked with for (8) years and started when part of the Advance Bionics group.

Hard to difficult outside of the office friendships. With nine + hours at work and then facing an hour commute both ways it didn't leave much time to do much else.

Very good opportunity to advance and move within the organization.

Early on it was based on productivity and measured accomplishments. The last two years became more & more political ........ who you knew, not what you knew or did.

Nice but very structured as the years went by. Worked to keep peopled informed and reward those people who worked to refine & control cost of the products.

That they would move the Operations (manufacturing) offshore.

It has been 4+ years sense I worked at BSN and don't believe I can speak to how the morale is there currently.

Based in the Los Angeles area there was a wide diverse ethic population.

Very much open area's. Cubical layout for the most part. Only Director & above would have offices with doors.

They were a large corporation that had many other divisions to move to for job opportunities. Had a growing presence in the Pacific Rim Operations expanse. With a great presence in FDA controlled industries, staying in America was a priority vs. the trend of moving offshore because of labor cost savings.
