Pros

Medtronic Mission. Wide range of products and company encourages changing positions/locations to develop/get promoted. Provides access to personal and professional development. Supports volunteering.

Cons

Managers will hold mistakes against you; not a place where you can grow from failures. Everything must be successful. Known problems with diversity and behind industry standard of women in leadership positions (some attempts for programs to aid with this). Fiscal year ends in April, May is known for reductions in forces across the company.

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.
