Pros

Knowing that you are helping people live a full life is a great feeling. There are many exciting technical challenges to keep scientists and engineers engaged.

Cons

Sometimes it seems that all the company has is the mission and knowing that the work is helping people. "Well, at least I'm not hurting people" is a terrible reason to come to work. There seems to be a lot of 'historyonics' in play in several of the divisons that get in the way of progress because people want to hold on to the past (especially when the stock was splitting every other year). This frustrates new talent and is creating challenges retaining young talented people who can get the same headaches elsewhere for more pay.

Pros

The best reason to work for Medtronic Minimed would be if you have diabetes. This job gives you the ability to use something that has been a downside for most of your life and use it toward your advantage.

Cons

Medtronic Diabetes is a large company that has a lot of entry level positions. There are a lot of people who barely have high school degrees next to people from top notch colleges. You have to make sure that yo go above and beyond in any position or you will not move up at all. Make sure to know what your position does before you move forward with the job
