Pros

Lots of opportunities and supported career advancement when company was Covidien.

Cons

Much changed after Medtronic acquired Covidien. Little encouragement or clear direction was given by new management. impression by many was that layoffs were more imminent then new opportunities in the 'new' company.

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.
