Pros

Very prestigious and innovative global company with a deep history in the Medical Device sector. Great compensation, benefits, work-life balance opportunities and with a visionary new CEO at the helm.

Cons

Extremely matrixed legacy organization which created an atmosphere of 4 distinct companies in one and with competing priorities among them which often makes getting work among them quite difficult. Change to introduce new approaches does not come easy at Medtronic for this reason. The upcoming corporate restructuring announced recently will be among the largest in Medtronic's history and is likely to have layoff casualties as a result. Career advancement is also difficult and will be less likely with the major restructuring ahead Medtronic is a good proving ground to launch a career and which helps with taking talents elsewhere if needed and which many have done.

Women Don’t Advance

Pros

Name recognition 5 weeks PTO

Cons

Women don’t advance - but get lots of “development” Ie A ton of work you don’t get paid for but then the men still get the promotions. Men sit back and do zero development and get ahead. Biggest sham ever.

Pros

Deep pockets brings acquired innovation. Brand name recognition.

Cons

- HR is a complete front. They are not there to help support employees who are being bullied/harassed and are there to protect the higher-up managers or executives. Retaliation is a real problem! They only care about not getting sued or the optics of their organization, not the actual well-being of their employees. - Outdated performance review system. - People managers who have zero clue how to lead people. - Constant job and department restructuring. How are employees supposed to learn and become subject matter experts if there is constant change every other day?
