Guidant was great. Boston Sci not so much

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great and very talented people at the staff level. It's a very technically challenging and interesting place to work. A very strong patient and customer focus.

Cons

Way too much middle management and combined with horrific leadership in the company is leading the stock into the tubes. The persistent RIF a year attitude is getting old. The end result is unrealistic workloads for employees. Middle management MBA's come up with processes and procedures they don't have to live with.

Average job that allowed time to concentrate on non-work life

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is large enough that if you like the environment, you can easily move around to a different department.

Cons

Most promotions are systematic rather than being based on merit, skill, and leadership capacity. The culture is very bureaucratic and one of decision by consensus rather than decision by practicality.

Great individual workers but work overload for management that in the end affect the direct reports.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some employees love the job therefore the work performance and inter-office professionalism is apparent. Great medical benefits and educational growth package(s) for all employees that take advantage of it.

Cons

The responsibilities of management is overloaded and therefore delayed response time to employee concerns. Having a reliable and true sense of caring about the direct reports is lacking from management overall.
