Pros

Not many pros. The only one I can think of is that Medtronic has a good brand reputation and getting a job here will carry you far for future opportunities at other companies. My advice is to work here for 1-2 years and then leave.

Cons

1. Expect a 20-30% pay cut compared to similar positions at other companies 2. Benefits are just ok and they have been cutting the year-end bonus. 401k matching has been decreasing every year. 3. Upper management is incompetent and will blame employees rather than taking the blame themselves. I was glad when I heard the news that Hooman Hakami was let go recently because he had absolutely no idea what he was doing. 5. Don't take a contractor position here because they will never convert you to a FTE Medtronic employee.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
