Company not holding to their values in tough economy - Anonymous employee Medtronic Employee Review

Great company all around. If you get a chance to work for them - take it

I can't think of any cons.

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.

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