Advice to Senior Management

At the moment keep up the good work, although there might be a need to facilitate more sociability amongst employees

Pros

I worked in the finance department as an intern and had a great experience. The people were friendly, they pay was solid, and the products BSC makes genuinely make a positive difference in people's lives.

Cons

I found working the 8-5 in the same office at the same desk Monday through Friday a little tedious, at least at this point in my career. Departments are a bit disconnected as well.

Pros

Great support for employees just starting out, great benefits and work environment. Positive attitude of everyone, great culture for engineering. Big support for learning and intellectual development

Cons

It is a big company so there is that proverbial ceiling you hit when wanting to advance your career. Not much room for variable work as an engineer.

Advice to Senior Management

Great, fantastic people to work with who really want to see you succeed. Good leadership and really care for their employees

Pros

Hardworking people committed to saving lives. Technology generally improves lives. Company focus on assuring full access to its therapies.

Senior leadership struggles with defining and executing a vision for the company. Company tends to overvalue transactions rather than an appropriate balance between people and transactions.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus the company's resources on creating an adaptable culture to meet the challenges of new and diverse global markets. BSC has an opportunity to lead the development of the next generation of medical device companies, one focused on high net margins providing superior economic value to its customers and their patients.

Pros

Name recognition within respective accounts. Quality of our products is second to none. Salary is fair to good for the level of work we do.

Cons

Senior management could improve. New product pipeline has slowed partially due to internal issues but also due to FDA regulations getting more rigid.

Continue to invest in top potential employees to lead us into the future. Implement principals of change management to adapt to our ever changing world in medical devices.
