Pros

Great company culture: Focus on the Medtronic Mission. Micro-managing does not happen and everyone is respected as an individual. Hence there is great trust and one feels like one is working for oneself rather than an oppressive manager. The managers and higher management are all extremely intelligent, accomplished and experienced people and are hence a treat to work for.

Cons

Being a big company, it is sometimes hard to get innovative ideas to get accepted into product development. One has to go through some red-tape.

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.
