Pros
I have nothing good to say
Cons
Medtronic is a horrible place to work. They reward and promote incompetence and promote the good old boys club. The managers are some of the worst I have ever seen in my life. I can speak on this with good authority after many years of working with high level officers while in the military. Medtronic is known to have poor employment practices and their HR and labor relations is a joke. I was terminated with zero write ups, an above average review, was not even approached to discuss the allegations for something I didn’t do. I never had even one write up in 20 years of employment prior to this, so that goes to tell you how bad Medtronic it is. The person I replaced was fired for being in the hospital - they called it no call no show! They do not care or respect the American with disabilities act, veterans, or people with medical conditions. They don’t care if you inform them they are violating federal laws because they will not settle out of court and when filing a lawsuit it is still difficult to succeed. I was represented by a very experienced employment attorney and she has had many lawsuits involving Medtronic. In all my previous employers I never even heard of an employment lawsuit but I knew of several immediately after being hired at Medtronic. It is no surprise why they do not attract the best talent. If you want to be underpaid and work for clowns, then it might be for you. I ended up getting a much better position afterward making much more money. Do not waste your time or damage your career by working for Medtronic. And if you’re an hourly employee you are treated as a number and there is little change of upward mobility. Avoid at all costs! Hopefully I helped a least one person with this review and cost Medtronic some money, I wish them nothing but the worst.
