Pros

The mission statement "alleviate pain, restore health and extend life" is still keeping people working at Medtronic. Compensation is well and competitive in regards to med device industry. Benefits are great as well.

Cons

Recent executive leaders think Medtronic is a 'manufacturing' company where as it should be a 'technology' company. Also, they tend to think that if you are not playing 'offensive' then you are playing 'defensive' in the market...an analogy that developed from the sports or the military world. However, business runs better when you are diplomatic and collaborative; not offensive. They can simply listen to ex-CEO Bill George.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
