Budget cut every year - Anonymous employee Medtronic Employee Review

Great place to work, lots of really smart people doing great things.

The culture is demanding, but if you like that, you'll love it!

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
