Pros

Amazing product that saves lives, a big successful company that is an industry leader

Cons

I will start by clarifying my review is strictly for the Neurovascular division based in Irvine, CA. Medtronic is an industry leader in medical devices, which I feel is not fair if I did not distinguish between corporate Medtronic with the acquisition of the legacy business that became present day Neurovascular division. Neurovascular division is suffering under incompetent management. The incompetent management is responsible for the alarming high turn over rate of employees at this site. They do not care about morale nor work life balance of employees. I've also witnessed one of the most extreme cases of nepotism at this site.

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.
