Pros

Medtronic is wonderful with benefits, infrastructure, and work life balance. I would work here if you enjoy healthcare and want to work on something that is helping others

Cons

For a software engineer in my group, they have limited technologies that are available to work on due to FDA and security guidelines. Hardware also was not my cup of tea, as I would prefer to work in the cloud. This obviously is can be seen as a personal preference, and not really a "con".

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.
