Pros

Medtronic was a GREAT place to work and I would return in a heartbeat if there were some changes made to the management team. The customer focus was second to none, the technological advances within the company were way ahead of others in the industry and the benefits were excellent!

Cons

Internal talent overlooked because management team didn't want to deal with training their subordinates for growth opportunities. It became a common practice for every person in our department to be hired at a senior level so the management team didn't have to do any training - employee could "hit the door running". Of course, this often resulted in lower level employees having to train (or do the work) of the higher level, higher paid co-workers.

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.
