Pros

Great atmosphere, a lot of happy people. Pay and benefits are great. Haven't met even one person that's lost sight of what's really important, and for a medical device company, its always the patient. The answer to every question for a project is making something better for the patient.

Cons

Difficult to figure out what I'm supposed to do at times. People are almost too nice, in that when I ask what I should do next or what I should be working on, the response is usually "As long as you're helping out, do whatever you want!" I haven't been given enough direction to know what that means though.

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.
