The compensation package may be nice, but the stress of job security is hurting the morale of a talented sales force.

Business Outlook

Pros

Broad depth of an innovative product portfolio. Deep pockets for growth potential. High level of professionalism. I think there is a real desire to want to push this company forward, so the potential is certainly in place.

Cons

Too many chiefs at the helm, and an obvious gap in the communications pipeline back down to the real work force. Inconsistent messages relayed from management to the field from qtr. to qtr. (chasing numbers strategy) Poor overall morale among the sales force because of uncertainty within market, and therefore a lack of confidence in the senior management. This company seems to be a perfect example of "bigger doesnt always mean better."

Medtronic not as good of a place to work as it should be.

Business Outlook

Pros

It's great going to work knowing that you're developing products that help improve people's lives.

Cons

You may be the best person in the department, but you won't be compensated/promoted for it. Medtronic has a 'good ole boy" network in place, and raises/promotions are not performance driven. Just talk to anyone in the memphis office about how backwards their promotion process is. Many people have been promoted who have had projects that haven't made it to commercialization. Worse yet, some of these projects have lost millions in development due to poor decisions by the project leaders and management, but they still get promoted over those who work their butts off.

Pros

Managment take interest in my personal and professional development. They are willing to give me opportunities if I simply present them.

Cons

Large company, medical industry is highly regulated and can add lots off additional tasks to any marketable product at any stage of research, technology, development, or marketing.
