Great colleagues but poor benefits and instability - Engineer Medtronic Employee Review

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Meaningful company mission that gives the work a real sense of purpose.

The IT organization is a toxic work environment. IT executives routinely exploit employees’ commitment to do the right thing for patients, and rely on fear and intimidation rather than genuine leadership. This creates a culture where people don’t act in the company’s best interest, but rather they simply follow orders to avoid becoming a target. Frequent layoffs targets experienced staff and replace them with cheaper, less seasoned employees, creating instability, eroding trust, and weakening overall capability and moral.
