Pros

The people at Medtronic are second to none. Everyone is very passionate about the Mission and the patients they serve.

Cons

Zero work/life balance. Certain roles are very understaffed. It's nearly impossible to take a vacation. New org. structure has complicated a lot of functions. Many really talented people, including senior leaders, are leaving to go to start-ups or competitors because they don't feel the pace is conducive to a life outside of work.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

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.
