Boston Scientific

Equipment Engineering Intern - AI Team

May - August 2021 • Maple Grove, MN

What I liked

The environment, people, and culture at BSC are great! I got to talk to lots of people throughout the company and learn what goes on in the different departments and positions. For my specific projects, it was great to be given complete autonomy on my projects, with my mentors just a cubicle away to assist me with any problems. And I learned a ton about the medical device industry and life at a big company!

What I wish was different

Nothing that BSC could have really fixed, but due to COVID-19, we weren't able to have as many of the intern events throughout the summer. They did a good job of hosting virtual events in place of them, but nothing beats in-person events with the other interns.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions! And don't be afraid to reach out to people across the company from you. Everyone at BSC is super kind and willing to take the time to talk to you and thoroughly answer your questions so make sure to ask them!

FP&A Intern

June - August 2022 • Marlborough, MA

What I liked

Very nice people. Relatively flat hierarchical structure for a large company. Finance organization is lean and you get a good amount of responsibility.

What I wish was different

Hybrid schedule is awesome, only problem is office is often a ghost town. Tuesday is the big in-person day.

Advice

You get out of it what you put into it. Ask a lot of questions.

Process Development Engineering Intern

May - August 2021 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

I loved the BSC culture, and the fact that they had most engineering interns in person showed that they valued our experiences. They also helped us with relocation and provided us a relocation stipend.

What I wish was different

I wish they had hosted an intern specific event, but we made sure to get together and hang out on our own.

Advice

Their internships require you to learn and gain knowledge about your project very quickly so you can start. As a full time employee the work-life balance seems very good, but as an intern you will be working hard to finish your project.

Packaging Engineering Intern

January - August 2022 • Minnetonka, MN

What I liked

I loved Boston’s culture and work atmosphere. My team made team bonding a priority with team lunches and outings such as baseball games and happy hours. The projects were also very interesting. I was able to learn about the medical device as well as help create packaging for those devices. It was inspiring knowing we could help people’s lives without directly being in the field of medicine.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more intern activities throughout the fall and spring semesters, most activities happen in the summer. I also wish I was able to work in person more than I did!

Advice

Definitely network as much as possible, it will take you places! Show up to many events as possible, even if it doesn’t directly relate to your position, whether it’s on Microsoft Teams or in person. Also, don’t be afraid to ask questions and jump in on random projects. Medical device can be intimidating but everyone is willing to get you up to speed and teach as much as needed.

Process Development Intern

January - August 2022 • Arden Hills, MN

What I liked

A very supportive community of high-level engineers. The internship program was very well embraced by all co-workers. My manager and mentor both made sure I was exposed to as much of the industry as possible in my time with Boston Scientific. This was my first experience in the engineering workforce, and I would definitely recommend it as a place to work.

What I wish was different

Advice

Ask lots of questions. If you need help on a project most engineers are more than willing to take time out of their day to give some advice (feel it out, some projects are on a tighter schedule).

Design Assurance Intern

June - August 2021 • Maple Grove, MN

What I liked

The environment and management was overall great! Management was easy to talk to and was very open to hearing about your comments, concerns, and questions.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more diversity throughout the company. In my specific area of the company, I was the only African American person on my team, and I was only the intern.

Advice

Make sure to talk to as many people as possible while here as an intern or entry level worker to make those connections and get to know people. They look forward to speaking to you at Boston Scientific! This will allow for you to make even more connections outside of the company as well.
