Pros

If you a undergrad engineer I can't think of a better place to work. The company is managed by engineers, great advancement potential for hard workers with no personal life.

Cons

Poor middle management, many on personal agendas for advancement. In recent years Medtronic has struggled to maintain profitability and because of this, employee layoffs come in Q3 and Q4 to prop up share price.

Good to place work but with becoming big corp - now lacks innovative, creative and entrepreneurial spirit

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to work, good compensation, flexible, good people overall, life saving products with real life impact, good stewards of community

Cons

Slow paced, lacks of innovation and entrepreneurial drive, would rather buy innovation then invest within the company to innovate, senior management too risk averse and dug into their trenches. Needs a good shaking at VP and above level to rekindle the company
