Pros

Benefits were great and my manager was nice.

Cons

Medtronic does not give a cost of living adjustment. All clinical specialist in your same division will make the same amount, no matter where you live across country. No work life balance. In fact, they say there’s “work life integration”, basically meaning you are available all the time depending on what division you’re in, especially as a clinical specialist. You can work very hard and it might get noticed with recognize points, but good luck on a raise or promotion. They haven’t given a yearly raise in several years to their employees on salary. I was offered a well deserved promotion but the district manager said it wasn’t in the budget and I’d have to wait several months. However, the associate sales rep was promoted within that same time frame. They definitely care more about their sales team members than they do their clinical team. Other companies pay their clinical specialist a bit more than Medtronic.

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.
