Founding Story
In 1978 John Abele and Pete Nicholas were both looking for solutions. Abele wanted an investor for Medi-Tech, a company he joined in 1969 that was pioneering the field of interventional medicine, who would see his vision-to create new markets for less-invasive medicine and spread the word about Medi-Tech's products. Nicholas wanted to build an enterprise. The result was Boston Scientific, founded on June 29, 1979, as a holding company to purchase Medi-Tech.
Pete Nicholas and John Abele, ca. 1980s
Abele and Nicholas founded Boston Scientific with a clear purpose-to benefit public health by bringing more accessible, lower-cost and lower-trauma medical options to patients, and to become a leader in all aspects of the industry. And they created a culture in which employees shared and believed in that purpose.
Today
Mike Mahoney became President and Chief Executive Officer on November 1, 2012.
Mahoney is one of the most inspiring leaders in the medical technology industry, having established a track record building market leading global businesses in medical devices, capital equipment, and healthcare IT service at best-in-class companies.

Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage InterviewBoston Scientific 2018-01-10 06:57 PSTApplication
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Scientific (Maple Grove, MN) in November 2017.
Interview
I met with the two Program Managers and the Director of the PI Clinical Group, each for 30 minutes. The process was quick and focused on my previous experience. They all discussed the working environment, elaborating on fostering a team-like approach. They also discussed changes in upper management that have made the entire group flexible and more hands-on, which allows for greater visibility of BSCI to our research sites. All three of the people I interviewed with stressed that respect and collaboration were among the most important things they were looking for in candidates, in addition to experience. I found the entire experience very motivating and very excited at the potential to work within the group.
Interview Questions
- I was asked to describe my experience in managing clinical trials, how to handle problem situations with colleagues and to elaborate on attributes that were most important to me when looking for a position e.g. teammates, personalities, working under stress and prioritizing. 1 Answer
