The cultural environment in most part of the company is excellent and there is opportunity to grow.

- 3.0Nov 28, 2014DirectorFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsTolochenaz
Pros
Many people aligned with the mission of the company. Great products. Great financial strength. Medtronic hires motivated, highly educated and qualified people.
Cons
Political, with VP-level leadership out of touch with reality and how business is done in the 21st century. CEO and Europe Head (Rob ten Hoedt) are brilliant and visonary and want the right things to happen in the company. The level below them, unfortunately, generally consists of politicians with too much time in the company to know what good performance and best practice actually look like. Medtronic is too inward looking and is a very change averse place.
1 - 4.0Sep 10, 2020Anonymous EmployeeCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearMinneapolis, MN
Pros
Very prestigious and innovative global company with a deep history in the Medical Device sector. Great compensation, benefits, work-life balance opportunities and with a visionary new CEO at the helm.
Cons
Extremely matrixed legacy organization which created an atmosphere of 4 distinct companies in one and with competing priorities among them which often makes getting work among them quite difficult. Change to introduce new approaches does not come easy at Medtronic for this reason. The upcoming corporate restructuring announced recently will be among the largest in Medtronic's history and is likely to have layoff casualties as a result. Career advancement is also difficult and will be less likely with the major restructuring ahead Medtronic is a good proving ground to launch a career and which helps with taking talents elsewhere if needed and which many have done.
