Pros

Having Medtronic on your resume will land you a position at other Fortune 500 companies. Educational opportunities galore. Working with some of the brightest minds in the industry. Mission is exceptional and the devices they produce have saved a great many lives.

Cons

Middle management leaves much to be desired - favoritism abounds. Constantly changing the rules in our department, difficult to keep up with all the changes as it pertains to my position. Raises and bonuses limited.

Pros

In general, the company is well guided by the 50 year old mission written by founder Earl Bakken. The opportunities for learning and career development are there, although you have to work to find them and take advantage of them because the company is large. My best manager in my career to date was at Medtronic. There really are some smart people at this company, and people who leave consistently say that the caliber of people at Medtronic is higher than what you'll find at most companies.

Cons

For every fantastic manager I've had, I've also had a terrible one. Medtronic needs to better train management to lead: give specific feedback, give the coaching and resources employees need to succeed, set a vision and make sure all work falls within that vision. Lack of accountability has led to poor management and messy integrations. Facilities outside the Twin Cities lose the mission-based focus.

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Decent work life balance.

Cons

Lack of strong senior leadership and strategic direction. Way too much focus on bottom line and no long term vision. Layoffs have been demotivating and have cut a lot of talent. Disconnect between leadership and other employees.
