Good work-life balance but promotion challenges persist - Engineer Medtronic Employee Review

Great place to work, lots of really smart people doing great things.

The culture is demanding, but if you like that, you'll love it!

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.

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