Pros

Good culture Great opportunity for growth Good Engineering Managers Lots of talented people to work with

Cons

Mid to upper level management make business decisions without Engineering input or counter to Engineer's input. Medtronic is not a 90,000 person company, but 100 small companies fighting for scraps from head quarters. Technology development is 2nd to acquisitions of companies when funding is concerned. This impacts the ability of the talented people mentioned in pros to develop new life saving technology. Low pay to entry level technicians creates high turnover rates.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
