Pros

Medtronic is wonderful with benefits, infrastructure, and work life balance. I would work here if you enjoy healthcare and want to work on something that is helping others

Cons

For a software engineer in my group, they have limited technologies that are available to work on due to FDA and security guidelines. Hardware also was not my cup of tea, as I would prefer to work in the cloud. This obviously is can be seen as a personal preference, and not really a "con".

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.
