Pros

Lots of opportunities and supported career advancement when company was Covidien.

Cons

Much changed after Medtronic acquired Covidien. Little encouragement or clear direction was given by new management. impression by many was that layoffs were more imminent then new opportunities in the 'new' company.

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.
