Pros

Salary is actually competitive for the area and the medical benefits are reasonable. There is a gym onsite. There is a yearly bonus.

Cons

Medtronic Surgical Technologies is filled with lazy incompetent people who only show up to work because they are paid. It makes is very difficult to get anything done. It is quite demoralizing for new hires who came from other companies where there is a strong work ethic with a drive and passion to succeed.

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.
