Pros

MNav is a strong growing business and the lack of bureaucracy allows work to proceed quickly Free Coffee

Cons

Medtronic as a whole has poor benefits (Vacation and the 401K Match VESTS!) Poor systems (Quality and Manufacturing) Poor Management (dangerous amateurs) Poor facility (not well cared for, dirty bathrooms) Unethical business practices (management is not to be trusted, eventually their business practices will catch up with them)

Pros

Company is interested in community-based work, encourages employees to volunteer. Good pay unless you're in customer service. Benefits are good.

Cons

Here we go again--another round of layoffs and cronies running around trying to figure out how to protect themselves and their favorite followers. Another round of subjective "fair process" (there is no process) on who gets let go this time. Employees are forced to spend time again worrying, and protecting their turf-- instead of adding value to their jobs. This (now) annual process is not a result of true leadership--it is just picking low-hanging fruit (heads) to make the numbers look good for a time. How about some true leadership and totally reorganizing this fat, top heavy, bloated, inefficient mammoth of an organization? Seriously, stockholders, ask how in the world this organization is going to be able to sustain itself in the long term? What is the span of control for leadership---how many (all levels) VP's, Directors, Program Directors are in the organization? I'm surprised the company doesn't implode on itself with all the weight at the top!
