Pros

Boston Scientific has a positive and collaborative culture, which is represented both top-down through our executive leadership and bottom-up. "Advancing science for life" rings true as we continuously take meaningful and innovative technology to market and invest-then reinvest- in progressing patient care. It feels great to work for a company that places routine emphasis on their overall mission and vision.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive with the current medical device sales market, and achieving plan is consistently made to be an aggressive challenge- Sales plan is laid out on a quarterly basis, which prohibits reps from celebrating their "wins" for longer than a month or two before they are baked into their following quarter. Job duties and expectations keep increasing, competition is stiffer year over year, yet compensation and T&E budget continue to be squeezed. High-performing younger employees are at a disadvantage here, as the red-tape is ever-present. The company will allow you take take on increased responsibility if you are performing, but do not expect to be compensated at the same level as your tenured peers.
