Pros
I liked some of the people I worked with
Cons
The benefits are laughable when compared to other companies. They are constantly lowering the starting wage to the point people have to work overtime to make ends meet. Gave only Medtronic employees a 300 euro voucher to "help pay a bill" except it was a Me2You voucher that can't be used in that way. So many bullies and no one is doing anything about it. People breaking OPs everywhere but you have to be friends with someone in Quality to get away with it. The food in the canteen is passable but far too expensive for a "subsidized" canteen. Uses up 2 weeks of your holidays on shut down every year, and agency staff have to do overtime to cover it or take no days off (only if they have been working there long enough) or take it unpaid. They changed the holiday system recently so Medtronic employees have to "earn" their holidays week to week. Being harassed by supervisors during sick leave wanting to know when you're coming back. No career advancement opportunities unless you are a man or you leave and come back. They changed the bonus system to a system that is based off how the entire site does, so if one area has a bad couple of months, the entire staff suffers. Also, you don't get a bonus unless you are a Medtronic employee and they don't like when you talk about your wages with agency staff. Meanwhile, Geoff got a half a million bonus in the same financial year.
