Very bureaucratic, self-serving Leadership

Senior program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Deep pockets brings acquired innovation. Brand name recognition.

Cons

- HR is a complete front. They are not there to help support employees who are being bullied/harassed and are there to protect the higher-up managers or executives. Retaliation is a real problem! They only care about not getting sued or the optics of their organization, not the actual well-being of their employees. - Outdated performance review system. - People managers who have zero clue how to lead people. - Constant job and department restructuring. How are employees supposed to learn and become subject matter experts if there is constant change every other day?

Infighting in local leadership

Pgm manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Services Organization. This is an island within Medtronic. Light Work. Nobody in Medtronic is bothered where we are surviving

Cons

Lot of infighting among local leadership. Not creative enough to increase the pie. But lots of fights for the same piece of pie. They sacrificed a lot of local talent for their survival. Literally survival of the fittest happened. Only one person left in the crowd to leade

Business Needs Come First

Senior manufacturing engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good culture Great opportunity for growth Good Engineering Managers Lots of talented people to work with

Cons

Mid to upper level management make business decisions without Engineering input or counter to Engineer's input. Medtronic is not a 90,000 person company, but 100 small companies fighting for scraps from head quarters. Technology development is 2nd to acquisitions of companies when funding is concerned. This impacts the ability of the talented people mentioned in pros to develop new life saving technology. Low pay to entry level technicians creates high turnover rates.
