Business outlook
Pros
Great mission and satisfaction from working on medical devices.
Cons
Internal politics, more time spent battling other groups for funding within Medtronic than focusing on the competition. Poor portfolio decisions by senior management, and when competition passed us up with a new device it was the employees fault if the copy cat project wasn't completed in an unreasonably short time. Little respect or appreciation for working overtime (which happened all the time).
