Pros

The medtronic mission is a compelling and very much supported reason to come to work Community involvement by Medtronic is significant and the technologies impact real people with real medical conditions

Cons

Very many silos - Business A doesn't know what Business B does. Mobility between businesses is limited. Sites outside the Twin Cities can get neglected. Senior Management frequently leaving the company or being forced to leave make consistency of message difficult.

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.
