Pros

World Class Medical Device manufacturer. World class talent at every level. Competitive salary. FDA pressure is creating good change and discipline where "ready-fire-aim" was the guideline from another era. The Medtronic Mission is a genuine force for the good of the company and all of its stakeholders.

Cons

Management is groomed for conformity and aggressive leadership. Some leaders get ahead by being very effective at maneuvering politically, aggressive gamesmanship on numbers, containing subordinates and undermining peers.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

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

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
