Pros

Good work life balance, summer hours (work until noon on Fridays). That is why I stay....

Cons

Leadership is awful. Two of my managers went through ethics investigations (and a third should have!). It starts at the top. There have been rounds and rounds of layoffs and there are more coming, especially in IT (due to the "transformation"). I would stay away from Medtronic - and also tell friends and family members to avoid using Medtronic devices until things stabilize! It is heartbreaking and Earl Bakken (the founder) would be disgusted.

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.
