Pros

-Lots of internal training to develop expertise -Some of the people were great -Good ESPP and Health Benefits -Competitive PTO package

Cons

-Absolutely no work-life balance. Get ready to live for the job. -Management thinks each person carrying 10-15+ projects simultaneously is normal and sustainable. -No interest in hiring full time employees; most positions are 1-2yr contractors which creates knowledge gaps and time wasted on onboarding instead of fixing actual issues. -Many managers have no formal management training and it shows. -Lots of equipment is from the mid-80's and there is no interest in getting state of the art equipment. Much of the job was patching together obsolete equipment with less obsolete equipment because it's cheaper. -No loyalty to their employees. Lay-offs happened even to people who had 25-30+ years of tenure with the organization.

Good company with interesting restructuring changes ahead! Proceed with caution....

Pros

Very prestigious and innovative global company with a deep history in the Medical Device sector. Great compensation, benefits, work-life balance opportunities and with a visionary new CEO at the helm.

Cons

Extremely matrixed legacy organization which created an atmosphere of 4 distinct companies in one and with competing priorities among them which often makes getting work among them quite difficult. Change to introduce new approaches does not come easy at Medtronic for this reason. The upcoming corporate restructuring announced recently will be among the largest in Medtronic's history and is likely to have layoff casualties as a result. Career advancement is also difficult and will be less likely with the major restructuring ahead Medtronic is a good proving ground to launch a career and which helps with taking talents elsewhere if needed and which many have done.

Pros

Name recognition 5 weeks PTO

Cons

Women don’t advance - but get lots of “development” Ie A ton of work you don’t get paid for but then the men still get the promotions. Men sit back and do zero development and get ahead. Biggest sham ever.
