Pros

Great initiatives on diversity, wonderful mission.

Cons

Your fate depends on what division you are in. Service is a bit of a mess, run by an old boy network that prefers the idea that management means being an overlord requiring everyone in the office so they can look around and see who's there. So much for flexibility for employees. They try to pay as little as possible, and raises are 2% for well-performing employees. CEO acts like every other uber-corporate CEO instead of the leader of a medical device company with Bakken's vision and principles. You want to get promoted? You first have to do the job at your current pay for a long time. The new benefits package switched from Blue Cross to Cigna. In terms of information technology, Medtronic is still in 2000.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
