Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Boston Scientific full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
I've worked with some wonderful people on three different product lines. The work can be, at times, rewarding and you do feel a sense of satisfaction in making a quality medical product that will positively impact someone's life.
Cons
Of the three supervisors I've had, two were absolutely worthless people who served only to promote themselves and their friends. This facility is full of knowledgeable, hard-working people who are passed over for recognition and promotion in favor of the friends of the supervisor who do less but kiss-up more. Merit, integrity, and hard work will get you nowhere in this plant, it's all about who you know.
Advice to Management
Corporate-think toadies and self-aggrandizing supervisors and managers on the production floor might make for interesting office chatter, but they are ruinous on the heart of BSC Spencer - your Product Builders on the production lines. I've seen average workers give their absolute all to a supervisor who treats them like a human being and shows understanding and compassion, and I've seen outstanding workers do as little as they can under a supervisor who sees them only as a metric to further their career advancement. You, the management, have stated you want people to love working here? Then show them with actions not words.

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Boston Scientific (More than 10 years)
Pros
Products. Private Healthcare. Boston reputation amongst customers. Good remuneration but comes at a cost. People I worked along side with, were committed, talented and caring. Very team oriented.
Cons
Hypocrisy rife. Favouritism allowed. Sexism the norm. No duty of care for employees. Arrogance, greed and fear, common place. Petty and little value placed on humanity. Sales at all cost. Used to be a harmonious, tough but fun place to work, sadly no longer.
Advice to Management
HR need a shakeup. MD lacks charisma and leadership. Investigate recent negative culture shift with resulting high staff turnover.
