What is working from home like at Medtronic?

Pay was really good, had (operative word) work from home opportunity, colleagues usually were great, benefits, retirement plan

Several members of management not on the same page, work from home opportunities were removed even though It is statistically cheaper to keep employees working from home Instead of in a brick facility. Employees from the United States were made to go back to work from office or to be let go while our counterparts in the Philippines were still remote workers and remain to this day, management is backward thinking, Supervisors have meetings to get employees to quit rather than be fired so that attrition can remain low cost.

Great benefits remote work from home.

The pay is horrible and the pay raises are worse. With all the work you do they need to pay more.

Cafeteria and that is about it.

I have been with the company for over a decade, and have seen management come and go. With this latest change with Geoff and Que the Diabetes OU is going to be in a downward fall. With the loss of great VP like Danny and now Nathan the culture that once made Medtronic great is gone. They are now requiring all work from home employees to return to the office by the end of January including the ones that were for medical reasons. This is going to be a loss of hundreds of employees that are your top reps. Mid-Level management are not fighting against this and it trickles down into the supervisors. The pay is bottom tier for inside sales even with starting increase that was adjusted due to market values. They will not adjust for the cost of living increase because they don't go based off of that scale. The change of insurance benefits this year has gone to worse coverage and costing more. The only way to get promoted is by having a territory that does well and if you are a new hire you most likely will not be getting one of those. In order to get your job done most days you will need OT, but that has been done away with unless approved from a manager which it rarely is. Time Off is 3 weeks starting, but only one person per team is allowed off at time and teams consist of at least 10 people. Then there is typically blackout dates where OT is not allowed which are the last week of each month and then usually another week in December and another at the end of each quarter. This causes fighting for time off and not letting you to use all your time off which resets. The company has no marketing presence other than targeted ads on social media and relies upon word of mouth. This outdated practice has led Medtronic to be last in the market in Diabetes Devices even with the launch of their new product. I cannot in good conscious recommend working for this company, and if you do they will chew you up and spit you to the curb.

Flexibility to work from home and great worklife balance

Because is a big company is not always easy to change some process.

Health insurance, life insurance, 401k

No longer allows employees to work from home, Favoritism, Confusing commission structure

Flexible working arrangements, ability to work from home.

Too much workload, unpaid overtime.

Ok compensation, work from home

Not a fast-moving company, some company politics

I can work from home 2-3 days a week

So much flexibility has been taken away from our schedules. My work life balance has diminished significantly and minimal changes are made to actually make the work easier - plenty of changes have been made to make the work more challenging and time consuming. I remember I used to be so proud and happy to work for Medtronic. With the lack of care the company has for its employees, I can't say that anymore.

Good career development path and work home life balance.

Very corporate and political environment.
