Pros

The mission of Medtronic is wonderful and the desire to help customers with diabetes is what keeps me going. The benefits are very good considering they just raised in price.

Cons

There is lack of direction, lack of loyalty, lack of promoting those who truly deserve to be promoted. In 5 years of hard work for this company I have only received a 2% raise each year. I question whether or not if this is the right place for me. I have a feeling I will not only improve financially by leaving Medtronic but I will grow in ways I cannot at this company.

Pros

The company is definitely focused on its mission to improve the lives of patients through innovative medical products. The work-life balance is manageable across most functions and the compensation is competitive.

Cons

The entire organization is a maze of direct and dotted line VP's. Whether you work in US or OUS, you have a GM, Functional VP, and Country VP to satisfy. This structure leads to a large amount of conflicting requests.
