Medtronic Process Development Manager reviews

Production line workers can easily fall into the "golden cage" effect and get stuck for years due to the confortable high salary and the scarce oportunities for growth. Some areas can be quite strict and deficient managerial behaviours ignored by higher levels of management to favour production to the detriment of the well-being of workers. A considerable number of production line workers are outsourced for a considerable period of time and fired at any time without notice, when this happens it creates a shock among co-workers who have build relationships with them and is humilliating to outsourced workers in the way they are fired, they don't even get the chance to say good bye to their co-workers.

If you are a poor engineer they will move you into program management. This sometimes works out well. Other times, not too much. Tolerate poor performers for too long.
