      Pros

      Great benefits, they respect employees family and personal lives very much, and they are flexible with the hours. They communicate what's going on in the company both the good and the bad news

      Cons

      The IT department lacks clear vision for career growth. Not many opportunities and the corporate office in MN has too much control over the local IT The headquarters attitude is that they know best and the Minimed people need to follow their marching orders.

      Pros

      Having Medtronic on your resume will land you a position at other Fortune 500 companies. Educational opportunities galore. Working with some of the brightest minds in the industry. Mission is exceptional and the devices they produce have saved a great many lives.

      Cons

      Middle management leaves much to be desired - favoritism abounds. Constantly changing the rules in our department, difficult to keep up with all the changes as it pertains to my position. Raises and bonuses limited.

      Mission-based medical device company with a midwest culture and work ethic.

      Pros

      In general, the company is well guided by the 50 year old mission written by founder Earl Bakken. The opportunities for learning and career development are there, although you have to work to find them and take advantage of them because the company is large. My best manager in my career to date was at Medtronic. There really are some smart people at this company, and people who leave consistently say that the caliber of people at Medtronic is higher than what you'll find at most companies.

      Cons

      For every fantastic manager I've had, I've also had a terrible one. Medtronic needs to better train management to lead: give specific feedback, give the coaching and resources employees need to succeed, set a vision and make sure all work falls within that vision. Lack of accountability has led to poor management and messy integrations. Facilities outside the Twin Cities lose the mission-based focus.
