RecommendsNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Covidien full-time
Pros
The workers are very friendly once you get to know them. Pay and benefits are decent once you become a permanent worker.
Cons
It's a sterile environment and being inside for 8-10 hours can really mess with your head. Lead members can be demanding in order to reach the production numbers.
Advice to Management
Evaluate the leads because they can sometimes make ineffective decisions.

Pros
Great products to bring innovative solutions to patients around the world. Over 50k products that work from a band aid to electro surgery.
Cons
Was sold to other big company and they eliminated a lot of positions with the integration process. In the process they let behind a lot of talent.
Advice to Management
Rally need to evaluate the process of takeover

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Covidien full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Enjoyed working with peers roughly my same age for once. The Boulder, CO campus embraced a "work hard, have fun" attitude and culture of fairness.
Cons
Senior leadership acted differently than the mid-level and lower level professionals. Felt as if they didn't mingle because they were too uptight and corporate for the rest of us doing their biding.

Pros
At first they seemed a little unstructured but with the acquisitions of companies they purchased, more structure was put in place and was a good place to work. Half day Fridays in the summer!
Cons
A little old fashioned. It took a little bit for the company to look outside the box.
