Medtronic not as good of a place to work as it should be. - Senior Product Development Engineer Medtronic Employee Review

You may be the best person in the department, but you won't be compensated/promoted for it. Medtronic has a 'good ole boy" network in place, and raises/promotions are not performance driven. Just talk to anyone in the memphis office about how backwards their promotion process is. Many people have been promoted who have had projects that haven't made it to commercialization. Worse yet, some of these projects have lost millions in development due to poor decisions by the project leaders and management, but they still get promoted over those who work their butts off.
